Number of liquid calories I’ve consumed since beginning my weight loss journey on 8/31/2018 is ZERO.

My favorite liquid beverage:

1) Single cup of strong black coffee in the morning - currently Italian Roast or a Peet’s Cafe Americano,

2). San Pellagrino acqua minerale,

3). Distilled water with squeeze of lime.

What about you?

    The 30-35 calories of creamer in my coffee are typically the only liquid calories I have. Other than that just lots of water and occasionally diet soda.

    This morning I had 100 calories of keto coffee. Not bad. I'm not 'doing' keto, but I wanted to try the coffee.

    I drink some of my calories because I believe that when it comes to weight loss, every rule can be bent or broken if it contributes to my weight loss goal. I drink milk almost daily, tomato juice very often, hot chocolate and chai tea whenever I really want them, and rarely, a milkshake. Fruit juices, only when a diet 7up wouldn't hit the spot.

    I don't like alcoholic drinks, so that's a tiny amount 1-2 times every 1-2 years. Not even worth calling it "drinking my calories" when it's just a couple of sips.

    Very low calorie beverages:
    - Diet 7 up 1-2 times a week in the summer, none in the winter
    - Tea nearly daily in the winter
    - Coffee daily
    - I don't consider water a beverage, in that I don't decide to drink water, I just do it automatically when I'm thirsty. Just plain water.

    I like big bad scary carbfull OMG sugar - JUICE.

    yep. juice. 100% freshly squeezed fruit juice.


    other than that, black coffee, extremely occasionally a cappuccino, water, sometimes beer or wine (usually only in the holidays).

    The occasional smoothie.

    and Kombucha too. Like that. Nice fizzy drink instead of softdrink. BUt sometimes Coke because pizza.

    Never tried that mix. I usually just do campari and soda - refreshing and perfect!

    I drink 3+ glasses of milk every day. Liquid calories are NBD for me.

    @sardelsa i've never tried Fernet. What is it like? Campari I know is not most people's favourite due to the bitterness.

    It tastes really strong and intense.. very medicinal.. lots of herbs, super bitter. I add the Campari to sweeten it up :D

    I have a half a bottle of Dunkin donuts mocha every morning. I mostly drink unsweet tea, but I couldn't give up my mochas entirely. And it fits into my calories.

    I normally drink mostly plain water, often warm tea in the afternoon/evening, and sometimes I put those little sugar free flavor packets in my water when I have dinner. I like a little sweet beverage (usually lemonade) with my savory meals.

    I don't normally drink my calories, but it was a food holiday today, and they were serving this:

    My 4 kids polished off the apple-cranberry and apple-pear versions of this! It's a Holiday tradition. Far superior to sparkling grape juice.

    I was wondering about this. I go through a lot of them especially when cutting.

    I used to drink them regularly but then I got better at hitting my protein target without needing them.

    A woman of fine taste! Fernet, Campari or Unicum are my nightcap when I'm having one, and wine is... wine!

    Also, I take coffee with milk lately (espresso machine with cappuccino foamer at the office...), I have the occasional shake which I also see as liquid cals, and then there's wine, liquor, beer. No fruit juice, no ice tea, no fizzies. Well.. coke zero, okay.

    I feel like the OP intended for people to be one-upping eachother in the other direction lol

    Does custard count as liquid calories? Or gravy? Garlic mayo?

    Black coffee has calories. Anywhere between 1 and 5.

    I consume mostly water, black coffee and low calorie pop. Occasional glasses of wine.

    Orange juice and chocolate milk. Pre pregnancy there was red wine too, always French and preferably Bordeaux.
