I always forget to mention my coffee. I always have atleast a cup or 2 in the mornings with cream & sugar. Only about 2 teaspoons of sugar & creamer
have you thought. about switching to splenda? Just a suggestion. I like it just fine in place of sugar, and it is not too expensive.
I don’t like creamer so I can’t help you there, but I know those calories add up. You might want to investigate other options.
But…I tend to drink lattes a lot, which have WAY more calories than I need to be drinking in the morning. Oy. Gotta kick my latte habit!
yeah I’m a big coffee drinker. and haven’t figured out alternatives for my cream/sugar.
I drink coffee every day and. I personally feel adding real sugar and half in half is better than the fake stuff. I just count it with my calories for the day. But sugar is natural (I use the raw as it is less processed) and I know how much I am putting in. I dont drink milk so that little bit of half and half isnt going to wreck my diet! I did cut back from real cream to half and half but milk (even whole) makes it too thin.
i sometimes use whole cream. and sometimes half and half. when i use whole cream, i use less, so i kind of think it’s better for me.
I use half and half. actually. Milk is jsut kinda gross in coffee
I feel that way. about skim milk. It turns the coffee grey. Ugh.
I add 2% to coffee, and I add a lot (about 6 ounces).
I tried skim milk twice. (with coffee) and the color and taste were TERRIBLE!
I used to be a light and sweet girl!. When I decided to lose weight for real the last time.. I cut it out completely.
It was a tough transition, but, every day I liked it more and more. I think it took about 2 weeks to grow accustomed to the taste.
It’s amazing how your taste buds change!
I can’t drink coffee with sugar at ALL anymore. It grosses me out. And I put just a DAB of milk in.
The one thing I really noticed, however, was how naturally sweet foods are. Fruits.. veggies… I never noticed how sweet peas were until I cut out the added sugars!
I’m going through that transition. now…
I normally use calorie-free sweetener in my coffee, but ran out of the stuff I like about 4 weeks ago, and since have been drinking my coffee black (I’ve never been one for cream or even milk).
I started really liking the black stuff, but lately I’ve been drinking a lot of lattes…which is just bad.
The other day my bf brought me a latte, just to be nice, but I was in the midst of drinking black coffee. I took one sip of the latte and it was way too sugary.
Hoping to kick the latte habit and go all black, all the time!
Interesting to note the preponderance. of posters on DiFo who use cream & sugar in their coffee.
Culturally, this is unusual. My nieces and nephews pick up some of their tuition money working in coffee shops. They say that the world is firmly split between “black coffee” and “candy in a cup”. Rare is the person who puts cream and/or sugar in coffee.
And, where I work, our receptionist, who keeps the coffee station percolating along (actually, dripping) says something similar. When she looks at the coffee she makes, and the refilling of the “supplements”, she says it looks like one sugar packet is used per 20 cups of coffee brewed and less of the cream.
I wonder what it is about DiFo that its regulars are so often “sugar and cream with coffee” types?
well. I find that very hard to believe. If that were the case, places like Starbucks, which makes it’s money on the fancy coffee blends, wouldn’t be so popular.
I was evidently not clear. What the nieces/nephews report, and what I observe is that very few people order coffee and then add cream/sugar. If they want a sweet beverage, they go for broke and get the carmel/chocolate/whipped cream stuff.
My own observation at the coffee place I go to is that in the morning, it’s about 2/3 “fru fru” drinks, and 1/3 black coffee – and the black coffee is kept black. No adding cream/sugar. If I go in the afternoon, it’s 9/10 black coffee. But then, the place I go is in a business park, so that proabably biases the mix.
Yes, the “hot candy bar in a cup” is how they make money…the observation though that I found interesting is that when a cup of coffee is served, it’s nearly always consumed black…but not on DiFo.
Gotcha… I guess it might be regional. Or where you go?
I am a Dunkin person, most of Boston is, and most of the coffee is ordered “regular” which here in the Bean means 2 creams 2 sugars.
lol—that’s why my ex did–his family owned. about 20 Dunkin’ Donuts in the Mass/NH area.
yeah that’s where I live… and we new englanders have some serious D&D addictions. One in EVERY corner..
I have a 2-a-day habit at DD. Large iced decaf, extra skim milk, 3 splendas. It’s the only time I drink milk or use splenda, but can’t seem to change my mix. They make it so perfectly!
Now that you mention it. Back when I used to go to doughnut shops, I remember the preponderance of cream/sugar in coffee…must be people who like those sugared fat pills are of the ilk to “adulterate” their coffee as well.
I think of coffee as its own thing, and I suppose that’s why I’m “black all the way” with it.
But I’m also pretty basic – I like my taters steamed with no seasoning, and I suppose I tend to hang with people who think similarly.
could be… I will say, I haven’t touched a donut since childhood. I’m not much of a sweets kinda gal..LOL
I drink black coffee as well, just on the reg.
I’d also like to point out. that I’m pretty aware of your thinly veiled insults.
Well, then, you’re one up on me. because I’m not aware of them at all.
clearly §.
you have an unfortunate delivery. “holier than thou” I think it is called
on the one hand I enjoy your comments and the perspective of someone who has been through some S**T, but you come off as a know it all
Sorry about that…it’s not intentional §.
perhaps it’s regional?. I’m fairly certain that if you ordered a cup of regular coffee and didn’t specify how you wanted it, the DD’s cashier would assume “light & sweet” because that’s how the vast majority around here take their coffee. All of my friends, family, and coworkers are coffee drinkers, and I only know one person who drinks her coffee black. I’ve probably only witnessed someone ordering a black coffee a few times in my lifetime.
I also know if I order coffee at DD’s I have to VERY clearly say “with JUST a little bit of milk”, and sometimes clarify that statement several times, otherwise I get dessert in a cup.
wow, only one black coffee drinker?. I worked at a natural foods store in college. My manager had a theory that men who drink coffee any way but black cannot be trusted. People in general, really, but milk/cream only people got a pass if she liked them well enough. I kind of adopted that theory myself, I guess. I can only think of one of my friends who uses cream and sugar in her coffee. Everyone else takes theirs black or with cream/sugar only.
i drink black coffee. at my parents or when I purchase bustello coffee for the week since it’s an expresso
Yes. actually, it blows my mind the number of people around here who won’t drink coffee unless it’s light & sweet. A lot of people even have specific amounts of each when ordering at Dunkin Donuts…like a large coffee, 10 & 7 (translation: 10 creams, 7 sugars). Blech. I just have a little milk in mine, and I’ve had many people ask me how I can drink it without sugar!
eeekkK!!!. gross.. way too much. I have started asking for one cream two sugars in my medium iced.
I lived in Georgia for a while. and there, you could not get unsweetened iced tea to save your life…restaurants pre-sweetened it, and some could not be convinced to serve it without sugar. You wanted tea without sugar, you asked for hot tea and a glass of ice! But I don’t remember the same thing in the coffee…black was the normal way.
There is some regionality to it, that’s definite.
I was in Japan about ten years ago, across the “street” (a very wide pedestrian walkway, complete with traffic lights for cross-street pedestrians) from a Starbucks. I went there for a hot black coffee one morning and ended up chatting with other visitors. One wanted cream in her coffee and the ‘bucks didn’t actually have any – she settled for a small splurtz of whipped cream and stirred it in.
I expected actually, to see most of the customers to be non-Japanese, partly because I didn’t think Japan had our coffee/fru-fru drink obsession, and partly because this Starbucks was situated amongst a number of international hotels. But there were LOTS of Japanese youth there. I didn’t think to study what they were consuming, but I don’t remember seeing much in the way of whipped cream on the drinks. One of the added profit-makers in that particular store was a wall full of video games, which were busy the whole time.
I live in Atlanta now. and I detest all tea, sweet or unsweet. All restaurants here now have both sweet and unsweet. Possibly because it’s a large city, people have become pretty health-focused, and a lot of people would die before they would drink that sugary crap.
same here. Almost everyone I know puts something in their coffee. And on more than one occasion at dunkin donuts they put cream in my coffee even though I asked for just a splash of milk.
And I’ve seen the one friend who drinks her coffee black add a splenda to it.
When I worked in restaurants, I had to constantly replace creamers and sugars.
It could be…. I think the latte thing is more of a west coast thing.
My Dad from the East coast had never tried one. Black, cream, sugar.
Many coffees are essentially steamed milk flavored with coffee and syrups.
Coffee officianos correct me if I am wrong.
bfast is oats, kefir and wheat germ. Exercise will be a 3-mile run tonight, maybe a bit further if I’m feeling up to it.
greek yogurt, and a protein shake for my mid-. morning snack.
Work out tonight: resistance class (lower body) and I’m helping out with fitness testing so I’ll be running the mile with whoever needs motivation and my incessant optimism
tuna and cucs for breakfast. exercise tonight will be a full body workout fo cross training and weights.
mmm tuna and cucs. sound really good right now!
oh good. I thought you were going to make fun of my breakfast. I have been on a non-breakfast food kick lately.
good morning. at 5:00am i rolled out of bed and ate a homemade peanut butter granola bar before speedwork.
speedwork was 800s on the track outside. it was so humid, but fun.
after that i had a smoothie – yogurt, spinach, peaches, carrot, blueberries, lime + water and ice.
2 eggs. scrambled with salsa and spinach and a piece of toast.
some earl grey tea
I was going to run this morning but slept right through my alarm. My cat woke me up a few minutes before I’m supposed to leave for work…I wish she had let me sleep.
After work, I’m helping a friend paint her apartment so if that counts for exercise then that’s all I’ve got.
i didn’t want to get up either. My alarm went off and I told myself, “I’m too tired to go to the gym. I’ll sleep for another half hour and then do a workout DVD here.” 30 minutes later, I was hitting snooze again, telling myself my run tonight would suffice. I think I could have slept until 9 today though. Rare for me.
oh I hear that. I bet I could have slept until noon today. I’m still so exhausted and have been all morning
Morn. Farms Grilled “chicken” patty. on 1/2 a low-carb wrap with a slice of low-fat Swiss. Just had a low-carb yogurt and a cup of black coffee for a snack.

two cups of tea (with a touch of cream and sugar).
Didn’t get to go to the coast for the week before school because my SO said his work schedule changed. Well, he is still in bed and hasn’t been to work all week anyway
*grumbles indignant curses*
I’m going kayaking ALONE today
Have fun kayaking!. That sounds like a lot of fun. I’m very interested in getting into paddling sports, but that’s probably a few years off due to schedule reasons.
Hope it’s calm and peaceful!
Kayaking was great! The salmon are running. and they were jumping all around my yellow plastic float.

Once I’d had my fill of sun and fun, I packed it all up to the truck and the darn car wouldn’t start
Thankfully I’ve been a AAA member for just about ever, so they sent a tow truck and I got myself, kayak, and vehicle home, no money out of pocket.
My SO and his nephew are out there tinkering with right now in exchange for chicken quesadillas and rice.
I think I hear it running
cottage cheese and strawberries. wanted almonds too but the cafeteria was out. sad face.
had sauteed squash and zucchini. with scrambled eggs, goat cheese, purple basil and some sliced heirloom tomatoes.
Exercise will have to wait as I sprained my ankle on monday and am resting it. Boo.
oh, and piece of double fiber toast. §.
BK double cheese burger
. 60 min zumba, 4 min tabata rowing.
I’m proud of myself did not eat both of the burger yesterday.. I saved 1 for breakfast this morning..hhehehe
