I love coffee and it makes calorie deficit living so much nicer.

Same here
I drink 3 to 4 mugs of black coffee a day

And in the evening i also make sometimes as a treat a Starbucks espresso for our self
Next to that i get sometimes a small Starbucks cappuccino.

In a way the same as before i was losing weight.
But i sure love my coffee.

Yay for coffee! Black coffee is my breakfast. I drink it unsweetened and it’s the perfect thing for me in the mornings, as my tummy isn’t too keen on being bombarded with food before lunch. I love coffee in the afternoon as well because it helps me deal with pre-dinner hunger.

I love coffee almost as much as deadlifts.

I couldn't live without it lol. I think I would give up almost any other food and drink I love if I had to but couldn't give up coffee. I too like it black but once often add other things for variety sometimes the basic sweeteneter and cream, sometimes plain cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla bean, kahlua or baileys (on special weekends teehee). While pregnant I switched to decaf and did fine so it's more than caffiene for me, maybe all in my head, but oh well it gets me through the day :P

I dunno about suppressing appetite, but if I have coffee on an empty stomach I feel pretty nauseous, so I only drink it right after a meal or with a snack. Any caffeine when I haven't eaten doesn't settle well. With that said, we have an espresso machine at home and I usually have 2 shots a day, sometimes I also hit up Starbucks but I make better tasting cappuccinos at home than Starbucks So it's more if I want a specialty thing like a Frapp or want to work outside my house for a while.

If I'm drinking a cup of coffee I take it black. If it's an espresso shot I like an Americano (just espresso + water, tastes like a strong cup of regular coffee) or frothing a bit of milk for a cappuccino. And if it's a Frapp or mocha or something I want all the delicious sugar/calories you can put it one because that's usually a dessert for me, haha.

Coffee is the nectar of the gods. I'm addicted - I admit it - I'll never quit it!!!!

I love coffee but have only just recently started drinking it black as I'm trying to cut out dairy. Only trouble is if I have some after 5pm I can't sleep at night I've tried decaf but it's not as nice black. I want a cup of coffee now...

Aw! I'd recommend you keep searching for a good decaf, I've tried a few and I often can't tell the difference taste-wise. If all else fails, decaf Americanos are always really good in my experience!

I fit 1-2 Dunks iced coffees into my day every day. I don't do it to deal with a deficit; I do it to deal with the day, haha.

This. Coffee makes me a reasonable human being.

I just love hot drinks man. They make me feel nice and warm on the inside.

2 small cups w/ half and half in the morning before breakfast-that's it

Coffee is a wonderful thing. Every night, I have 2 cups with a little cream and Splenda. And that is one of the things that stops me from eating too much at night. I *could* diet without coffee, but it wouldn't be nearly so bearable.

black coffee first thing in the morning before fasted cardio is awesome

one 14-oz keurig cup with 2 tablespoons califia farms creamer (30 cals) in the morning with breakfast. occasionally a coffee shop treat during the day.

I drink it black as well- hot or iced. Sometimes I add sugar free flavors to it.

I love's my coffee. 3, 8 ounce cups start my day. I have been having 2 Tbs milk and 3 splendas in my coffee at 33 calories per cup, but I have noticed (out of splenda today) that I am enjoying my coffee black as well. Yes, it does help me get through until I need to fuel with food. Love, love, love it!

I have good news for you: you are over-logging this. A full cup (244 grams) of whole milk is 103-150 calories depending on the exact fat percent. Two tablespoons of milk is only 13-19 calories, not 33, and even less if you drink reduced fat milk like 1% or 2%. That's a bonus 50 calories per day for you!

One large flat white for me every morning! I would sometimes spend an hour scouring neighbourhoods on public holidays in search of an open cafe . I now have my own Nespresso machine. I love my coffee and my full cream milk. I just make it fit into my daily allowance.
