I have to drink it with creamer ,

I'm the same way! I use half-n-half in my coffee. I have cut way down, but that is one thing I won't give up completely.0

Have you tried the sugar free creamers? They maybe lower in calories. I like the sugar free syrups, half vanilla half raspberry in my americanos.0

skim milk?0

Light cream and sugar all the way. I won't give it up either.
You can use fat free brands and substitute sugars but they say those are not good for you. :ohwell:0 -
Low fat or sugar free CoffeeMate or International Delight if you have to but why mess up a good thing? Make room for it in your day or do a few more minutes of exercise if you have to.0

I substitute unsweetened/sweetened vanilla or chocolate almond milk. Its lower in calories than dairy milk, and nutritious! 40 calories for 1 CUP of the unsweetened vanilla. 120 calories for 1 cup of the sweetened dark chocolate. (gives coffee a mocha flavor.) YUM!0

YUM! This!!! Or almond milk and some unsweetened cocoa powder0 -
I am struggling too. I measure my French vanilla creamer (2-3 tbs) every morning and limit myself to just the one cup during the week and occasionally 2 on the weekend. It is a challenge being in love with coffee! But cutting back on caffeine intake has many benefits, good luck.0

Powdered skim milk - like Carnation. Doesn't dilute your coffee the way skim milk does. - Or make it cold!0

Amazing thought! I will have to try this!! You're a genious!!0 -
FF creamers, flavored and unflavoried
Torani sugar free flavors, in the coffee isle0 -
i use the sugar free creamers - lower in calories and they seem to be sweeter so i don't use as much sugar0

I use the Organic Valley half & half because it tastes so much better than any of the artificial crap. Something else to consider trying is some of the Virgin Coconut Oil...I've been using a little of it with my creamer and it's great
EDIT - not sure those are exactly "low cal" substitutes though...sorry.0 -
1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk - 10 cals, 1/2 T cocoa powder - 5 cals, and splenda to taste. Delicious.0

We use almond milk!0

Almond milk looks like a winner. That's what I do, too. I use 2 oz. (2 Tbsp) of unsweetend almond milk in a large mug of coffee. I haven't desired sweetened coffee in years, so the almond milk is just enough to give a little creaminess to the coffee. Awesome!0

Today I decided to pick up some fat free (maybe low fat, I'm not entirely sure) half and half and sugar free syrup. I tend to use 3-4 tablespoons of creamer and like two cups a day, so I am trying something new.0
