I’ve been enjoying an am and afternoon coffee with a flavored creamer for months without thinking through this. I do this before eating my breakfast and in between lunch and dinner for some caffeine.
Am I doing this wrong? Should I be doing a sugar free something?
Thanks for all of your replies on my recent messages!
This is, of course, breaking my fast at 6:30/7am (from eating dinner at 6/7 the previous evening) by having coffee with flavored creamer (like the terrible artificial kind)before I eat food around 10:30/11.
I drink coffee with creamer around 8 30am every morning! I count the calories in the creamer and I don't eat anything till noon.Quote:

I always had black coffee while swaying but that's because I don't even like creamer or artificial sugars. I still drink it black now. I've tried to have milk in it and it makes me feel sick every time. If you're having just a splash of creamer it's probably fine as it's likely only a few added calories. It's only if your coffee is like half creamer then I think it'd be an issue drinking it between all your meals.
My pleasure!
how many cals in the creamer?
Most of these are fine, some of them have quite a lot of calories (in the form of sugar) so just want to be sure you're not getting too many cals (because that would basically be breakfast).
For the most part I like you guys to stick with no sweetener or artificial sweetener in the morning. But personally, I chose to have regular sugar in morning coffee, even though it was technically a cheat. I did get a girl doing this and while I don't recommend it officially, it really helped me to stick to the diet in other ways and it worked out. :)
How many calories is "too much"? I drink 1 cup coffee with 2 tablespoons creamer which equals to 70 caloriesQuote:

We don't know, but I think that is fine, since so many people are doing that amount of cals from milk or creamer in a coffee.
I take about the same but I usually have TWO coffees with that amount in-between eating.Quote:

If you are allowed soy milk or DH has it around for his part of the sway, consider trying that. Silk vanilla soy milk is sweetened a bit and I think 4 Tablespoons is 25 calories (3 carb, 1 fat, 2 protein). I find it pretty good in my desperately needed morning coffee.Quote:
