    About 50 cals worth. Usually just 100ml of semi skimmed milk across three cups of tea or coffee. The rest of my drinks are either water (during the day) and with dinner I will have either a coke zero or sugar free squash.

    I do limit my diet coke to one a day....not because of the whole cancer causing sweeteners theory.....but because I already have thin tooth enamel and too much citric acid isn't good for my teeth. I also have to be careful with things like tomatoes and fruits.

    Between 0-25 most days. On Fridays, I have usually between 165-500 cals in alcohol.

    None, unless you count protein shakes. I do put a splash of half and half in my coffee, but don't count it.

    40 calories worth of half and half or milk, 30 calories for sugar. That's it. Often I try to only go with 15 calories from almond milk and my flavor drops to cut out sugar calories.

    I was going to use a milk alternative but it cost four as much and the container said it had to be used up in 3 days. Yikes!

    What milk alternative?

    When I first started this process I was using as much half and half as I wanted and 3 packets of sugar in a coffee. I just made the decision to cut it down to two packs, and measure two tablespoons of half and half. The first week sucked, but now I take my coffee this way and it feels like a sweet treat to me. I'll actually have a coffee with sugar if I am craving something sweet because it's an 70-80 calorie hit rather than 300 calories from candy.

    I use coconut milk--unsweetened. It's rich tasting but few calories and lots of calcium.

    I don't "leave" any calories for drinks because I drink my milk with breakfast. For me, milk is the one drink that I consider to be food because it actually helps fill me up (likely because of the protein) and is an easy way to get protein into breakfast.

    I use about 100 calories for my hazelnut creamer in my morning coffee. :)

    IDK. I know I am gonna have to leave room for coffee because I self-medicate my ADHD with the caffeine.

    I like my milk. One cup a day, unless I have cereal.
