    I actually made a "recipe" for my coffee - the way I prep it every day. Makes it easy to log so I can stay fully accountable. As long as you record the calories you should be fine. Don't think "coffee doesn't have any calories" then put 4 tablespoons of sweetened creamer - totally does. Doesn't mean you have to quit coffee.

    I did it as a Meal so that I could adjust the various amounts if needed.

    Personally cannot live without coffee (or wouldn't want to anyway). I'm now at a happy medium. My morning coffee is black. My afternoon coffee has sugar and cream. I find it more filling that way and it helps me feel sated after having salad for lunch :smiley: As long as I'm under my calorie goal, I don't feel the least bit bad about it.

    Need all the coffee! And I drink it throughout the day. All day, every day. Log and enjoy!

    I use milk and splenda and yes I count the calories. I can't live without coffee unless I want to lose my job.

    I have a sign at home that says, "With enough coffee, I could rule the world!"

    It's my preferred drink, right upthere next to water. In fact, I go for weeks drinking nothing but water, coffee and the occasional cup of tea; on average up to 3 quarts (total) per day. I average one soda per month, if that.

    Coffee must be fresh, strong and not flavored. Splenda and half & half or creamer are excellent additions but, some days are just made for strong, black coffee. My taste goes to darker roasts and full bodied smooth blends.

    A couple of my favorite tongue-in-cheek coffee sayings:

    There is no "strong" coffee. However, there are some weak men.
    You can easily tell if coffee is too strong if you can float a horseshoe on it.
    Fresh as a flower, black as the devil, hotter that Hell and, as sweet as an angel. (This is from a long dead Englishman whose name escapes me at the moment.)
    In Texas, we say that nothing is more useless than a dry Norther (a very cold, hard and dry north wind) or weak coffee.
    Flavored coffee isn't.

    Parting comment: Brew up a pot of double-strong coffee and add a cup of sugar. Use this as a mopping sauce when you barbeque pork. Something about the sweet, smoke and coffee flavors together that is real good.

    I agree, I am a coffee fan and always drank it with creamer and sugar. I have found that vanilla almond milk (non sweetened) is a delicious addition to my coffee and I am not mad at myself for drinking 100 calories!

    Some days when I am needing something a bit sweeter, I add coconut sugar. Delicious!!

    I believe it. We had coffee-rubbed steak with some type of smoky sauce at a dinner party once and it was amazing. I have a coffee marinade I've been meaning to try. Coincidentally, I have a pork shoulder in my freezer. Thoughts are brewing...

    I didn't like the almond milk creamer- It made my coffee chalky. (I am a coffee snob.)Before the doctor came down on the No Cholesterol line, it was a tablespoon of half & half and two teaspoons turbinado sugar. Now, I use the International Delight creamer (the Sweet Cream is really good.) and save my cholesterol for weekend brunch splurges.
