Coffee

Only 200 calories? Not bad..........

How does it fit into the rest of the day's calories, fat etc.?

If it doesn't blow everything, I say go!
Enjoy this kind of treat only once in a while.

That's why this website is so great....
helps us do some "juggling" to keep dieting FUN! :laugh:

Happy Friday!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

I wish I had one of those stores by me. I love there iced coffee drinks tons of calories but so yumi

what do you guys do when you have a coffee craving like this one?

I drink coffee with creamer every morning.
I satisfy cravings. Portion control is key.
200 cals can be burned off by a nice walk later today.

I do the same - sugar free vanilla. It takes care of my coffee fix

Meeee tooooo!
International Delight Sugar Free French Vanilla
YUM-O!

I get an americano (brewed espresso) and add half & half.
Only about 40 calories or so with nice creamy texture.

No sweetener needed, since I'm so sweet already! LOL! :laugh:

I am a coffee adict and use to drink it by the pot. But I've learned to cut back by making espresso drinks. For me, the stronger the coffee taste, the less likely I want a lot of it (although it is no less enjoyable, more in fact). More recently, I couldn't afford to buy Peets anymore, so I learned to roast my own (there is a whole group of people in the US who roast in popcorn makers). Now the flavor is out of this world, and I don't need to add much to it. I use a Saeco machine (which is like an espresso machine but with a lot less hassle). Each cup is 4 oz of coffee and 2 oz of Soy milk = 33 calories. I drink it once to three times a day which means that the boost to my metabolism is spread out (at least that is what I hope is happening).

If you're interested in roasting your own coffee, just to go sweetmarias.com. It's everything you want to know about coffee roasting and cupping (name of how one judges the taste of coffee from one bean to the next, like wine tasting). I started because I was broke, and needed to save money. Now I do it because it just tastes sooooo good.

I like to brew a 4 cup pot of coffee every morning and I mix it with my chocolate protein powder. No added sugar and a little bit of milk. I get a mocha like drink and my coffee craving taken care of in one. Plus an added 22g of Protein. Go skim milk and you have virtually no fat and moderate calories. It is also a great appetite suppressant.

I gave up caffeine in January. I thought I would miss it but I don't at all. My kids used to say not to talk to me until I had coffee. They didn't think I could do it.

Now I drink hot water with a wedge of lemon in the morning and herbal tea in the evening. At least now I don't want any of those sugary drinks I used to want
