coffee, coffee, coffee

I don't bother tracking my coffee because I take it black with no sugar. But I also leave out some leafy green vegetables - celery, peppers and the such.

I am a little concerned about replacing food with coffee though... Is this something that you do?

I log coffee because I do cream and sweet n low. 1 cup for breakfast and one as my afternoon snack. Totally cuts my appetite and gives me the afternoon energy I need to finish the work day.

I drink alot of black coffee and unsweetend hot tea, there very good for releaving stress so i dont count them. There essential to my daily funtion

I don't log coffee and I drink a lot of it. Usually between 4 and 6 cups a day. I prob do use it to replace food.

I have coffee with milk and sweetener so I do log it. But yes I drink it a lot through the day because I just love a nice tasty hot cup of coffee and it takes the edge off of cravings

I log my coffees and the milk in them - I have an entry worked out which is the worst case scenario for calories, so I feel safe using it.

Milk is what sweetens my coffee so I struggle to take it black. If not for this, I would drink more than 3 cups a day.

I take my tea black without sugar but still log it.

Black coffee is my saviour when I want a low fat hot chocolate last thing at night and haven't got the calories for it - luckily it doesn't affect my sleep.

I only use coffee to replace food if I feel the need to have something warm and comforting on the dark cold evenings. Its so nice to sit all wrapped up with a steaming cuppa in my hands.

I am however a bit of a coffee nut the rest of the day anyway

Ok, that's a little different then. I was worried you were talking about skipping meals and just having a coffee instead. My sister does this, it drives me insane - she wonders why she doesn't get results!

I use coffee all the time as a "go to" when I want to consume something but don't want to spend any calories.

I drink my coffee with a dash of milk and only log the milk.

I use coffee to "replace food" in that I used to eat/drink habitually through the day without truly being hungry. I find coffee is a good way to curb more emotional cravings, but it's not something I would try to use as a replacement for food when I am legitimately feeling hungry.

I use a traditional style Keurig to brew my coffee. The K-Cup pods vary in calories with the majority of coffees reported as somewhere around 5 calories. I log it (as well as logging the creamer I put in it) because it was something I put in my body. I also log "0 calorie" things like mustard and the Mio drink additives though, so that might just be me.

I do that sometimes too. It's a really good way to keep yourself logging:) Even if it's 0 calories, what a great way to stay in the habit:)

I drink two cups in the morning with International Delights Pumpkin Spice or Peppermint Mocha creamer. Of course I log those calories. No I am not trying to give it up, no way. lol

I probably do use it to replace the food I might eat in the morning (because the sweetener probably cuts any hunger I might have first thing) but I end the day by eating all the calories I'm supposed to so that doesn't matter. I hate the thought of eating food first thing in the morning. lol

I log it, and I probably log it at a little higher than it should be but that's fine with me. I drink one big 16oz thermos with 2tbsps of half and half each work day. It does end up replacing a meal most mornings.
