    I just use 1% milk, just log it as 1/8 cup comes up as 14 cals. I don't think I even use that much but it is lower in cals then creamer.

    I miss my half-n-half. Now I put about 1/3 cup skim milk in a glass pyrex measuring cup and zap in the microwave until it is bubbling hot (90 seconds)-then add to my coffee and use my imagination...

    I used to get the non fat flavored creamers...but WOW take a look at those ingredients!! No way am I putting that in my body. I switched to 1/2 & 1/2, more calories but natural...gave up splenda too for real sugar. Still loosing weight and I dont even count my coffee on my food diary.

    I use just under 1/4 cup of skim milk. It has few calories, plus nutrients that you won't find in creamer. I don't think you can ever go wrong with skim milk :D

    powder creamers are a lot lower in calories than the liquid creamers. Coffee mate is only 10 calories per tsp.

    If I have the calories, I go all out and get real cream and sugar. If not, well I'm trying to teach myself to love black coffee. It's a process :/

    land of lakes offers fat free creamer; 20 cals for 2 tablespoons. Skim milk works well for me too. I never realized just how many calories I was consuming by adding about 1/4 of the coffee mug full of fat-laced creamer!! Keep up the good work..

    Coffee Mate Sugar Free. The sugar free is less calories than fat free.

    I love coffee so much that I drink it without any additives.

    Coffee is my favorite food group. OuO

    I just use milk because I'm poor, or I drink it black.

    Uhm...I am not sure of what a creamer is... but just the word "cream" screams fat and unhealthy to me, although I love double cream, sweetened whipped cream and ice cream. I try to stay away from it as much as I can, and I'm bound to eat I don't buy "light" or "fat reduced" versions, I LIKE IT THICK! :D.. and I think it's healthier every now and then for a breastfeeding mum to get some extra dosage of calcium and fat for the little one!:D

    If I want a different coffee I would have some ice cream with cold coffee on top, I love it, but don't add sugar to the cold coffee or it would taste far too sweet!.

    My normal coffees are cappuccinos with 2% skimmed milk, and I use my own expresso machine to froth the milk, then I add chocolate and cinammon on it. Cinammon acts as a fat burner!!:D

    If it is good coffee then Black! If it is bad coffee then Tea.

    White Peppermint chocolate or chocolate raspberry. I'm not giving up my flavored creamers and I fit them into my calories for the day. :)

    My fiance uses fat free half and half. Which begs the question, half of what, but it is oddly not terrible and has 20 calories/serving.
