    Drink it black! I know it tastes gross, but eventually it won't! Take it from someone who forced themselves to get used to it.

    Also, I like putting 1tbsp of skim milk and 1tsp of ground cinnamon in my iced coffee in the morning.

    The "drink it black until it tastes good" method worked for me in college when I moved into a dorm without ready fridge access, and I haven't looked back since.

    Silk Almond Milk French Vanilla Creamer or So Delicious French Vanilla or Hazelnut. Both are non-dairy and only 20 calories per Tbsp. I usually put in 2 Tbsp for 1 cup of coffee and it's just enough. I keep both on hand at all times.

    I use monk fruit that's in the baking section at the grocery store. Way better than sugar!

    If it is caffeine you need, chew two of these: military energy gum, they are amazing

    Sorry, sir. No gum can replace coffee. Nuh-uh.

    I use flavored creamers because they're already sweet and you don't have to add any sugar.

    really good quality coffee doesn't need much if anything. I usually just have a splash of 1% to cut it a bit as my wife makes very strong coffee.

    I like Silk Extra-Vanilla Soymilk. I use 1/3 cup in a large mug of coffee: 43 calories with 5 gr sugar and 1.2 gr fat. This is a big improvement over the super sweet creamers I used to use.

    Heavy whipped cream (like no carbs) and sugar that is very low in carbs.

    I've never met a low carb sugar ;)

    I don't drink it anymore but when I did and trting to cut back on my sugar intake I used unsweetened coconut milk. It's sweek enough that you won't need to add sugar in my opinion and I loved sugar in my coffee. If it's not sweet enough for you just add more!

    Mallybear2020, Sugar IS 100% REFINED carbohyrates

    That's because since there's no fat, protein, air, nor water in sugar. the only thing left IS carbs.

    In a nutshell......
    Calories are from :
    1-Fat
    2-Protein
    3-Carbohyrates. (Subcategories are refined, simple, complex, soluble fiber, insoluble fiber)

    Things that DON"T have calories:
    1- Air
    2- Water

    I love my coffee but one is enough for me. So, I just have it the way I like it. I compared switching to Coffee Mate or International Delight for creamer but there's actually MORE calories in that than in my half and half! The only thing I may change is stevia for a sweetener but really, I just log the cals and enjoy this simple pleasure. I tried the whole - take it black until you enjoy it thing - but in 34 yrs of drinking coffee I have never liked it black and I probably never will. The nice thing about MFP is that you need to make choices about your diet based on your calories. This means I really enjoy what I consume because I made a conscious decision to eat or drink it.

    1/4 cup fairlife whole milk (38 cals), splenda, and a few drops of either vanilla extract, imitation maple syrup flavor, or imitation caramel flavor (lots of flavor choices next to the spices in the baking aisle, and a little cheaper than buying torani sugar free syrups).

    i hate to say it, but I don't count my creamer in my coffee. it's the one thing I leave out of the calorie counting...doesn't seem to make a difference though - I still lose

    I taught myself to drink black coffee (not for calories, just because I never remember to buy milk...) and I do enjoy it now. I save the flavoured lattes at the coffee shop as an occasional treat. Saves me calories and money...
