    Coffee isn't going to hurt you. Just keep in mind if you add anything to it, you should measure and log it. Creamer adds up hella fast just fyi.

    coffee itself has nutritional benefits...all of the *kitten* people put in it though can make it calorific.

    I've heard that it can dehydrat you.....that's why I try 1 cup in the mourning and push water the rest of the day.

    Not enough to cause any problems unless you drink a gallon of it every day.

    Coffee is one thing I would not want to give up. I have cut back because I used to use cream. I have backed down to 1 milk from 2 creams, so I have added a couple cups back into my day. Hoping to get to black so I can enjoy my milk in a glass, or on my cereal!

    +1

    A couple cups of coffee each day are fine, and if you add cream, sugar, etc, just make sure you log that.

    Drinking 3-4 mochas from Starbucks wouldn't be the best way to get your coffee fix, but having one is fine if you have the calories ;)

    Me, I buy flavored coffee that I can drink black. 5 calories a cup then.

    Caffeine speeds up your metabolism, but I like using zero calorie sweetener, and also fat free cream.

    I drink 2-3 10oz coffees a day. I put light half n half in the first cup and drink the others black. (mostly because i have my first cup at home and the others at work. Peopel were taking my creamer out of the fridge. I'm only supporting my own habit). I don't like flavored coffee.

    I do flavored coffee and add about 1oz of almond milk. I love good coffee and dropped the sweetener ages ago. Skim milk, unsweetened soy or unsweetened almond milk will smooth a good cup of coffee. No need for sugar. You don't need much so it usually is like 10 calories.

    Starbucks uses sweetened soy, so it adds a few more calories if you get it there.
