I drink two cups of coffee to help stave off hunger after lunch and after dinner. I use 1/2 cup Silk vanilla unsweetened almond milk and 1 tbsp sugar free cream which amounts to 35 Cals per cup. Makes the cup more substantial too.0

It is "safe".2 -
Pretty much everything you put in your mouth will cause some tooth decay, which is why good oral hygiene is important. Diet soda is no worse than anything else, except water.0

eh, this is somewhat wrong.
Certain drinks have a low effect on enamel erosion. namely:
milk, water, rootbeer, and coffee.
Erosion of enamel starts around 5.5 PH
As far as decay goes, most artificial sweetened beverages do not cause any tooth decay as they do not support bacterial growth and acidity.

most days ZERO, today...400 in beer...so I'll be eating light and high protein rest of day.0

Almond milk, black coffee, water 2 - 3 litres. I some time use almond milk in my oats and coffee if I don't want black coffee.0

Anywhere from 200-400 cals, usually:
~100 in coffee with coffeemate flavored creamer
~ 0 in water and diet soda
~150-300 in wine
All filled with chemicals. None of them dangerous.0 -
Max, 10. I prefer to eat my calories.0
-
Diet soda is bad for the teeth and bone.0

I don't drink my calories. Calories are too precious to waste them on a beverage when I can get the same effect from water.0

I pretty much only drink water or unsweet tea... with the exception of my morning coffee because I NEED vanilla creamer!! My coffee is about 70 calories0
-
It all varies but usually 35 calories a day. 100 if I feel like it. Some days I do drink more though (when I'm craving something sweet) but it doesn't happen often.0
-
50 calories a day, so I can have a few drinks on Saturday.0
-
A couple of hundred if I'm having wine with dinner. I don't eat dessert, so wine is sorta my dessert.0

If I drink anything with calories, I add it to my diary like any other food and deduct the calories as usual. I usually only drink sugary things after work anyways [when my blood sugar tends to crash and needs a boost].0

When I used to have a medium double double with cream at Tim Horton's, it would be 210cals if I remember correctly. Now I simply make myself a coffee with my Tassimo machine and it amounts to only 50 cals (Great Canadian T-disc is 2cals, 2 tbsp 2% milk is 18 cals and 2 tsp sugar is 30cals - gotta have my sugar since I cannot stand the taste of Truvia in my coffee). Other then that, I'll have water, tea, 6cals glass of lemonade (iced cold water, half a lemon's juice and 2 packets of Truvia) and the occasional glass of milk.
I don't count my protein shakes as a drink, usually I log it as a meal. Here's how I divided my diary: breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks.0 -
About 150 calories a day--enough for a craft beer of choice. That's one of very few non-negotiables of this weight loss thing: I WILL have my evening beer.0

I save 150 kcal every day for wine. I drink all 7 glasses during the weekend. If I want more alcohol, I have to cut food. 12g milk in my coffee sets me back only about 10 cal/day. Other than that, it's water, tea, diet soda...all calorie free.2

I was starting to think I was the only other MFP to save some calories for a cocktail!! Cheers!
