    I switched to black when I decided to lose weight. In rare occasions I'll add a bit of milk (1% is what we have).

    I was like you and always used a ton of creamer in my coffee. I've backed down to 1tbsp in a single cup now of Fat free/Sugar free vanilla creamer. It's only 15 calories but it definitely doesn't taste like real cream.

    Black with 2 packets of sweet leaf stevia. I try to only drink coffee two times a week because I am very easily addicted and will have serious withdrawals if I miss a day (after many days of consecutive coffee drinking).

    I cold brew mine overnight and it ends up highly concentrated. About two ounces of cold brew, 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond or cashew milk and ice. Sometimes I put in a few drops of Mexican vanilla extract or cinnamon. It's about 15kcals.

    2-3 sugars. I hate bitter things. I can't have dairy so not using creamer/milk is no problem for me. Nothing else tastes good so I don't really use almond or soy milk.

    Usually dairy milk or half and half, or unsweetened nondairy "milk" (soy, almond, coconut, rice, cashew...), depending on what's available. Even a full ounce of half and half is only 40 calories.

    Sometimes black, especially if I'm drinking it iced, or if the only thing available is powdered "creamer" or a sweetened liquid creamer (can't stand sweet coffee), or vegetable oil-based creamer that leaves little pools of oil floating on top of your coffee (yuck).

    Sometimes a dash of ground cinnamon.

    I haven't changed since I started tracking. I just log it and make it fit.

    I started drinking my coffee black when I started using a French press and good quality organic, free trade coffee. I like a good teaspoon of cinnamon mixed in too!

    Vodka and Kahlua. Sometimes I leave out the coffee. ;)

    [No, seriously, I both cream and sweeten, but I'm not picky and I don't generally drink more than a cup a day anymore.]

    I usually drink instant decaff with frothed & heated skimmed milk. I keep whole vanilla pods in with my "proper" coffee beans, so if I fancy a real coffee I get the taste of vanilla without the calories of syrup.

    I use half and half. 20 calories per spoon and it tastes rich.

    I go for a skinny latte with a shot of vanilla. It's about 100cal, but I don't drink it often so I suppose for me it is more of a treat than a daily thing.

    So Delicious hazelnut coconut milk creamer. 20 calories for 1 tbsp and very good.

    15ml of heavy whipping cream (half and half just doesn't cut it). It's only 50 calories, and it's worth it as I intensely dislike the flavor of black coffee, but enjoy a cup with a splash of heavy cream. If I'm at a conference that only has half and half (or, worse, powdered creamer), I add sugar to cut the bitterness.

    If I want a zero calorie caffeinated drink in the morning, I have green tea.

    I actually gave it up for 2 weeks because I hate wasting calories on cream and sugar. Having an "off" weekend camping so drinking it again. I was thinking about maybe trying raw honey instead of sugar. At least that has some health benefits. Wish I could drink it black.

    Butter and MCT oil. Sorry, couldn't resist.

    How is that actually?!? I am a manager for Starbucks and had a customer ask if I would do this for them...technically we aren't allowed to but I did it. I took her coffee and a small packet of butter and blended it up.
