I think I drink to much coffee
« on: October 21, 2010, 08:45:18 AM »
I started mixing 1/2 decaf & 1/2 regular because I dont like the way too much caffine makesd me feel . So that was fine I always used milk and sweet low liquid in my coffee before I sarted FTS . then I went to HWC & my 0 liquid sweetner . but I feel that the heavy cream gives me so much fat in the morning . If you count a cup as 8 oz then I am probably drinking 3-4 cups .
  I know we are not suppose to worry about fat but like the livin la vida low carb guy he just eats so much fat that it is gross to me .(he is also gaing his weight back to).
 So my question is could it be slowing my weight loss down ?
  How many cups of coffee do you drink aday ?
 How much HWC do you in your coffee a day ? I just think that I am going overboard maybe not that is why I am asking   ;D

Each 80z cup of coffee has one carb.

Beebs is correct it is one carb per 8 oz. The heavy whipping cream is not a issue. ;)

Hi Jo, 1 carb per cup is the correct answer. Umpa's solution for me not getting too heavy with the cream is to use a teaspoon to measure it into the cup. If you want to see the difference pour a "splash" into a cup by itself and measure how much your average "splash" is. I find one teaspoon is plenty of cream for my coffee and my mug is 16 ounces (2 cups).

ok here we go:( every place i check says black coffee has ZERO carbs,Doug has stated that he counts his as 1 carb per cup because he uses FLAVORED coffee beans..... Jo i drink no less than 4-5 cups per day...more on weekends:) and use heavy whipping cream and torani sugar free syrups each and every time:) and it has not had any ill affects on my progress or maintenance,just google carbs in coffee...here is an example  http://www.coffeedetective.com/carbohydrates-in-coffee.html

unless you're putting a pint of heavy cream in each cup of java..... i wouldnt worry about it:)
     tell fatty to step away from the carb buffet:(

I'm drinking 60 oz a day on average, 3 20 oz mostly decaf, I don't use any sweeteners but I do use cream, I have been doing this for many years, being on the road all day I need something to sip on, if I didn't have the coffee I think it would be something  much worse in its place, I'm still at Dunkin Dounuts every day, but just for the coffee.
  Ive had to adjust my daily intake of edible carbs to count for my coffee lust, which is consuming 7.5 of my daily intake.

He eats 30-45 carbs a day for one thing and all that fat too much fat I think .On his menu blog he is staying under 1800 calories now but he was eating like 2500-2800- calories and 60- 70% was fat

I put about a tablespoon of cream in my 16 oz mug . I guess I would just have to add it into my carbs also like david said

I would use heavy cream as it is carb free.
