Between 2 - 5 calories per 8oz cup, depending on strength of brew.

I might add "Since we're no longer in junior high, I assumed you already knew this; sorry for assuming," but I'm sometimes a little sarcastic.

MFP is set up so that you're supposed to eat back your exercise calories, particularly when you're set at 'sedentary.' The reason less than 1400 calories seems like too little for you at your height and weight is because it is too little.

Basic organic chemistry tells me that food without chemicals isn't possible. So, which chemicals are you considering 'unclean?'

That trick with the tooth/food being eaten overnight - or over a few nights - by letting it sit in cola, right? Soda's acidic; orange juice will do the same thing. Is it your argument that orange juice is inherently unhealthy?

Sugar is a carbohydrate. Unless you've a specific medical condition like hypoglycemia or diabetes, your body won't treat sugar any differently than any other carbohydrate. Sugar gets a bad rap because it is often used in high-calorie foods, where it is generally used to sweeten fat (which is a necessary nutrient, but which…

Knew a guy whose job included verifying identity via ID cards. Upon seeing the dramatic weight loss the stranger in front of him had undergone since the ID photo was taken, the guy said: "You've lost a lot of weight, congratulations." The stranger's response? 'I was bitten by a tsetse fly and lost almost half my brain to…

Two different HR departments at former jobs of mine disagree with you, sadly.

It's nice to see that the Miss USA competition relaxed their standards so much that someone as bulky as she is can enter.

Pretty much the exact opposite of all of the above is true.

Coffee counts. Tea counts. Juice counts. Milk counts. Beer counts. . . . And "8 glasses a day" is an arbitrary, descriptive (not prescriptive) number derived from a 1940's study that included all of the above, plus the liquid in foods, in surveying what folks usually took in for hydration, on average.

If you search for 'weight lifting' under the cardio header in the exercise tab, you'll see calories burned. Some choose to list it there.

Yes, it does. Sweating means you're sweating; it doesn't necessarily indicate you're burning many calories.

Quality is a somewhat nebulous thing with coffee and many other beverages. Cognitive dissonance can often seem to hit some folks regarding price in both directions, depending on their POV. I understand that you prefer your homemade Americano. Please do not begrudge me my preference. The OP asked specifically about…

Iced Americano. Less than 20 calories, or you can add milk - or even whip! - and keep it around 100.

I suggest rethinking that; it's not a healthy choice given the information you've posted, and will most likely result in muscle loss that outstrips any benefit from the exercise.

There is a pervasive belief in a 'catabolic window' for roughly an hour after exercise when the muscles want/need a protein spike, like from a protein shake. While I still see some studies supporting this belief, the majority I have read have been dismissed as largely based in bro-science. Most studies I have read indicate…

Exercise is often an effective remedy for DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) brought about by new physical activities.

What do we want? Coffee! When do we want it? I will cut you. . . .

I pretty much ate food.

Why is that?

If you believe the bold part to be a compliment, we have a different understanding of what that means.

An effort which can be improved upon is not your best effort; all we ask is that you do your best.

Its vs. it's. Learn the difference, folks.

Coffee's diuretic effect is practically zero in anyone who has it with any regularity. Black coffee is less than 5 calories per 8oz cup, last I checked, so it could hardly be detrimental to weight loss; at the levels where it interfered, you'd be severely waterlogged and/or caffeine intoxicated. If you enjoy it - and I…
