    Black coffee drinker and no I don’t - even the occasional milky coffee (usually when I’m offered one and forget to tell someone no milk). But I’m currently on low low calories 1200-1400/day so figure an extra bit doesn’t matter - if I was maxing out my calories everyday then I would log the milky ones but still not the black

    When I started out I logged everything with calories.
    But noticed I was pretty consistent so put things like tea and coffee into one of my "meals" in my diary and used the quick tools/copy yesterday function to copy over my regular 6 cups of tea and 1 cup of coffee.

    On a side note I did the same sort of averaging with some of my irregular but significant in terms of calories non-exercise activity (such as 4hrs of heavy duty gardening) and simply bumped my activity setting up a notch to simplify logging.

    Had no impact on my results over time but how granular you want to be is very personal. How granular you need to be is also influenced by your overall calorie allowance too. I had a pretty high daily allowance (including a lot of exercise) so a few calories here or there was insignificant.

    I log it simply because I add sugar to it. Since I drink it daily, it's usually at my frequent foods section. I do not log my tea which I drink without sugar.

    I don't log the coffee, but I estimate the milk. (Husband makes the coffee and puts a splash of milk in our mugs, and I weighed it once and realized I'm overestimating a bit when I enter the calories, but that's fine by me if I don't have to futz with the routine.)

    I drink my tea and coffee black too but I still log them. Really just because I like to be able to see everything I've consumed, not because i'm concerned about the odd calorie from them.

    I log everything. Coffee included. It's easy for me as I drink it black.

    I do, but because I'm tracking my potassium and coffee is a good source.

    I don't log coffee. I log the milk/sugar I put in it though.

    I try to keep in the habit of logging EVERYTHING I put in my system, down to the melatonin at night.

    While I don't log everything, I do log coffee. Mainly just because I eat the same breakfast just about every morning so it wasn't any real trouble to include the coffee once and then just swipe right to add yesterday's breakfast. My lunches aren't as predictable so I don't usually bother logging the green tea I have every day.

    Also, even though the calories in coffee aren't substantial there are other things like potassium that I figured would be worth counting.

    @quiksylver296

    How much potassium is in a typical cup of coffee? Just curious.

    I put creamer in my coffee (1 tbsp), so it gets logged.

    100ish mg. I got 465 mg for 4 cups of coffee this morning. @tacklewasher

    Quick note I split the woo feedback posts off here so it doesn't derail this discussion.

    I drink my coffee black. I used to log it but it’s minimal calories so I stopped. Does anyone log their morning black coffee? Does it matter if I do? I also don’t log my tea if I drink it.

    I don't log it but I do tick off 2 cups of water.

    I never did...always just considered it as background noise. I only have a couple of cups in the morning so I wasn't really worried about 4 calories.

    I don't, but I log the tablespoon of half and half I put into my coffee.
