    My coffee is best with 3tsp sugar = 48 cals, and 3 tbsp cream = 45 cals, total =93 calories.
    But today im already over my calories because this is my rest day, no work out. I had 2 eggs and low cal bread and coffee in the morning, soup at lunch with avocado, and a burger for dinner plus a snack (chopped apple/raisins/nuts. honey/cinnamon) Over calories but i don't feel like I overate. I'm eating 1600 daily calories, to lose 0.5 week and i'm finding it difficult.

    Yes! Make room for it, especially if you enjoy it AND you look forward to it!

    We don't have monk fruit here, otherwise I would definitely try it.
    I have a full unopened jar of Stevia in my pantry that I haven't had the nerve to try yet because of all the negative aftertaste reviews I've heard about it... Although I have read the liquid Stevia is better, which once again is not available in Aus.
    I just got used to having my tea with no sugar, rather than the 3tsp I used to add to every cup (8 cups a day usually). Milk however is something I wont ever give up adding.

    I use 4tsp of sugar and 4tbsp of sweetened flavored creamer. It's a 200 calorie 20oz cup of coffee. But that's the only way I'll drink it. So I either do without or make it fit.

    Sounds good, same calories but with nutrients and lower glycemic index.

    Most grocery stores in the US now have Monk Fruit sweetener in the bags and packets ... the kind I buy is in an orange box and made by the "In the Raw" brand. Of course, I cannot say enough about this sweetener either: sugavida.com/ It is expensive but I love the taste and limit it to only coffee. I ordered it on Amazon but then my local HEB store now carries it too. It has a caramel-like back flavor.

    I also started using both the Silk brand almond creamers and the So Delicious coconut creamers - yummy and has fewer unrecognizable ingredients.
