    I don't understand why anyone would want to cut back. Coffee has potassium, and caffeine is a fat burner. Studies show coffee drinkers are less likely to become diabetic as well. I drink 2-3 cups (12 oz cups) a day, the only reason I don't drink more is because if I drink coffee after 1pm, I can't sleep that night. I also work midnights, so when I work I will drink many cups of coffee. I drink skim milk in mine, so I'm also getting a little protein and calcium.

    i love coffee...
    its delicious, au natural, and its better for me that an energy drink or soda.

    tea is good too though.

    i recommend you try Green Tea Kombucha. So delish

    I have cut back not cause I meant to but I just did..the past week I have drank 3 cups of coffee. I tend to drink more coffee when I have migraines. I need to get myself some skim milk.

    I've read that 5 cups or less isn't harmful to your body so I'm sticking with that!

    My intake varies between 3 and 8 mugs per day, probably usually 5 or so. sometimes I'll have an espresso instead if I'm just after the 'hit' rather than a long drink.

    Coffee, the way I like it, is something I've refused to give up. I have one cup in the morning at home with cream (10%) and a teaspoon of sugar. I don't like coffee without cream or sugar, but having it at home where I control the type of cream, and the amount, it's only 54 calories as compared to the 200+ I would consume should I have a 'double double' from a take-out place. I love a good cup of coffee, and much prefer what we brew at home, so I continue to have one, maybe two, cups a day.

    I have given up drinking those 'double doubles', though. I haven't had coffee from a take-out place since beginning on MFP at the beginning of January.

    Oh no, that's just crazy talk lol. Love my coffee, and the stronger the better. I have 2-3 cups per day. No need to cut back as long as its under 4-5 cups your good =)

    I love my coffee! When at home I have "the good stuff" black and scalding hot. If I am out I will use some half and half or milk. I average 3-4 cups of regular per day. In the cold months I will have maybe another 2-3 cups of decaf...I know, what's the point, but it makes a great hand warmer!
