    Unless you’re adding sugar or milk it has no calories so many people wouldn’t bother. But you can easily add it to the foods list if you do want to show it.

    i have black coffee with sweetners and sugar free syrup, never bother to add the calories tbh
    its that low the tiny metabolic boost from the caffeine will off set it

    It sounds like there is some sort of glitch going on right making it difficult for people to search for food. I think this is what is happening to you, since I know coffee is in the database. However, previous comments are correct, black coffee if calorie free so just log your additions.

    You'll see an ounce of soy milk listed in my daily diary. This represents what I put in my coffee. I just log the soy milk every day. I should probably up it to two ounces some days but I don't bother because it's so few calories and I underfudge on some things to balance stuff out. If I were to switch to heavy cream in my coffee (which is yummy!), I'd be weighing it every day.

    I use the entry "home brewed coffee - coffee brewed from grounds" - 4 cals for 14 oz black. There is probably also a basic one for "instant coffee" or you could try searching the specific brand (particularly if you buy pre-brewed such as McCafe, Starbucks etc, even if you usually drink it black)

    The REAL question is .... DO you drink it black? You don't really specify in the original entry ...

    System was a bit wonky on the 4th. Coffee definitely comes up.
