    I never log my coffee. I *DO* log the milk that I put into my coffee :)

    I've recently bought a very posh coffee machine with pods - I've noticed the calories in my Cappucino's are quite substantial so I'll always log those.

    Yup, agree with this..my cappuccino has 300 calories! Worth noting when weight loss is the goal!

    Ah. I log THAT I had coffee, but not how much. I just very carefully measure the sugar in grams and the creamer in tbsp and add that in. Then I add straight to that log later (so if I add 11 grams in the morning of sugar, and have more later in the day, I just change the first listing to say "22" or whatever) so it would appear I'm dumping MASSIVE amounts of sugar into my morning coffee, but really it's several cups spread out throughout the day

    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 don't log my coffee, the almond milk I add to it or the creamer that I add. I pretty much add the same amount every day. When I get down to a closer weight to my goal and if affects my weigh loss, then I will log it. I don't log the veggies I eat daily either.

    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 don't log black coffee, but sometimes I'll add a teaspoon of raw sugar, and I will log that. And every now and then, I'll get a caffe latte with soy milk, but holy cow--just checked the calories on these--glad it's not a daily indulgence!

    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 out of habit, but I drink it black, so it's irrelevant.

    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.

    I drink hot coffee with a teaspoon of sugar on Sundays at church. Every day, I drink hot tea sweetened with 1 tbsp of raw organic honey and 1/2 squeezed lemon. I log the honey and sugar.

    Unfortunately, the idea of a "negative calorie" has very little to support it. Drink coffee if you enjoy it, but don't count on it eliminating any of the calories that you are eating.

    No, I wouldn't like to use it as a buffer to calories but it would be nice if it where true :wink:

    I log the 2% or whole milk I put in the coffee since I use splenda. The 5 calories in a cup is negligent to me, never had any issues staying on track because I didn't log 5-10 calories. I know the little things add up, so I track other things that I wouldn't normally eat. Today I tried a small bite of someone's beet garlic yogurt salad and I logged that even though it couldn't have been more than 10 cals.

    Powdered splenda has calories (4 per teaspoon). If you're using it in any quantity to sweeten anything more than coffee, it can add up. If you're not, it's not a big deal.

    I was using a fair bit of it, so I switched to a liquid form of sucralose to save those calories.
