question about in between meals

Post by jbcombs » Mon Dec 19, 2005 4:43 pm

Hi! My hubby and I are going No S on Jan. 2. I get the part about no snacking between meals. What about coffee with cream? Can I have that in between meals, or does it have to be just water or black coffee?

Thanks!

Welcome, jbcombs.

This is one of those borderline issues I wouldn't worry to much about.

I drink my coffee black, but others here take it with cream (and sugar). You'd have to pour in a sickening amount over several cups to get to the caloric level of a single can of sugar soda.

Coffee with Cream

Reinhard gave the definitive answer (as usual).

I'm one of those that doesn't permit myself much leeway with the diet, because if I do, well, I go completely off track.

But cream or milk to soften your coffee, whenever, seems pretty okay.

But here's how easy it is to go astray. Without really knowing what I was getting, someone ordered me a latte at Starbucks the other day. It was, effectively, 12 ounces of milk with a few shots of espresso. While delicious, I think it was a violation. I gave myself a time out. :0)
