What coffee creamer do you use?

[Anonymous]

I tracked all my calories this week and realized I’m drinking a whopping extra 1,300 calories in just coffee creamer every morning. That’s pretty appalling but I drink a giant mug of coffee every morning and I like it very sweet

I’ve been using the Chobani creamers because they have very few ingredients and don’t hurt my stomach- that’s the main thing. I need something that won’t make me nauseous

Not a big fan of almond milk. But open to try anything else! Low cal and low fat!

I used to drink it really sweet, then I stopped cold and added half and half only. It’s much healthier. The taste is totally different, but good.

I lost 15 pounds after I stopped putting milk and creamer and drank my coffee black, no sugar, just the coffee. Milk adds a ton of fat and calories.

I love fat free milk. And no sugar. You get protein and calcium and Vitamin D with milk.

Have you tried to change from liking it very sweet to drinking dark coffee with cream? I think the fat plus sugar of most creamers is a lot, but if you can take out either the fat (and just add plain sugar) or sugar (and just add plain cream) it cuts the calories. I made this switch about 5 years ago and now can’t stand the taste of sweetener in coffee. Your palate adjusts.

I do drink a lot of coffee, and the calories in the cream add up. I just make cuts elsewhere - dessert for me needs to be fruit, for example.

I really don’t know if I can!!! Maybe just plain milk and light sugar..

I use 30 calorie almond milk instead of water and stevia. I always loved really creamy coffee, and this allows me to have all the creaminess and sweetness.

1300? No possible way OP. There is something wrong with how you're inputting the info into your app, has to be. I use Coffee Mate Powder, 4 tsp (yes I know it's a lot but I like what I like) and one tbsp of heavy cream. That comes to whopping 80 calories.

What app are you using?

I use the Silk Oatmilk Oatmeal Cookie creamer.

It's not "light" but I love it.

I use a premier protein shake as creamer - either vanilla or cafe au lait. Fairlife also has some good vanilla protein shakes you could try.

I just use milk

I use one ounce of full fat Lactaid milk in my coffee. I would never degrade my coffee- it is my most enjoyable part of my morning .

I’m close to you… about 1200 calories a week. I just gave up breakfast foods and drink coffee instead. It makes me so happy and keeps me full until lunch!

I use walnut milk. No carbs or artificial anything. Ingredients are just walnuts and water. It is delicious and creamy in coffee and heathy fat. 8oz is 130 calories. I don’t track how much I use daily, but no where near 8 oz

I may try the fairlife ones, the premier protein hurts my stomach! Some bad ingredients in those
