How do you like yours?

I will not give up my coffee unless it's medical necessity. It's not an option. I will make it fit into my calories. I can't do black because it'd kill my stomach. I drink Spanish coffee so it's pretty strong so I have 1 tbsp of sugar and 3 tbsp of half/half

I take mine with sugar free caramel creamer or sugar free peppermint mocha creamer. I don't like my coffee really strong and if the creamer is sweet enough I don't need added sweetener

I like my coffee blacker than the black holes.

If you cannot be without your sweetened coffee, work it into your calories. Use fat free creamer to keep the calorie count of the coffee lower, or just get a sweetened coffee creamer and ditch the sugar.

Ideally my coffee is a double americano or a long black, with two sweetners and a splash of cream (which somehow always comes out to 18ml for me?)

Some cinnamon on top is nice too!

I used to use plenty of cream and sugar in my coffee and couldn't imagine drinking it any other way. Having to drink black coffee was like penance for all my wrongs. Same for sugar in my tea. But I wanted to reduce calories and I drink coffee at home then at work (coffee junkie), so I felt the sugar used there was a good target as was the sugar in sodas. I went cold-turkey on the sodas and weened down on the sugar in coffee and tea until I eventually eliminated it as well. I still use a little bit of creamer which I can't seem to shake. But I find now that I really don't like overly sweet drinks to the extent that sugar in coffee and tea is now viewed as penance! Go figure. Good luck with your effort to reduce calories from sugar. You might get a surprise or two along the way!

I like a little coffee in my sugar.

LOL I had a friend who literally put 3-4 tablespoons in her coffee. I used to say that to her all the time. How about some coffee with that sugar!

I used to do just a sprinkle of sugar in mine but now just drink it with milk. I never liked sweet coffee. I do like putting cocoa powder in it sometimes though for a mocha type of drink.

At work, I just drink whatever coffee is there. Black.

At home, we have either Gloria Jeans Infusion coffees in various flavours, but black, of course ...

Calories are calories....for weight loss. To me eating 200 calories of nutritionless "food" can be the same as eating less then 1100-1200 calories per day.

This is true for me as well.

OP...Have you tried unsweetened vanilla coconut milk in your coffee? I don't have to have coffee but it does help to kill an afternoon craving for something I really don't want to spend cals on. It's only 45 cals a cup, so I usually only end up with 20 cals worth in my cup.

Well I used to have loads of sugar in my coffee! Then I started to cut back til it was 2 packets. Then I started to use stevia in the raw which tadted better to me thanother stevia brands. Its 0 cals and plenty sweet. I use 1 packet 2 creamer and 2 tbsp coconutoil and blend its simply terrific:)
