I already drink tea because, well, I enjoy drinking it, and it has no calories. I don't add anything in it either. However, I do enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. Usually just instantized Taster's Choice, is this okay? I do add a tablespoon or so of ViT. D milk and a teaspoon of sugar, is this okay? Should I replace the sugar with Splenda instead?

I probably drink way too much coffee but I use Equal for sweetener.
I`d dump the sugar, as it does nothing good for you.
On the other hand, if this sugar once a day is all you ingest, and it`s a small amount, it`s probably not going to make too much difference in the long run.

Good stuff Tim, glad to hear I"m not the only one who craves the stuff, especially in the morning. Yeah, the only sugar i have would be this one teaspoon. I'm drinking my coffee right this minute, and it's with Splenda, and I can tell a difference... sugar tastes better!   |

I used to use sugar but you do get used to the artificial sweeteners over time.

im a coffee slut... i drink it however i can get it. i like cream and splenda the best at home if i go to starbucks and feel wealthy i will get a quad vente breve marble mocha (translation... 4 shot, 20oz, filled with half and half and white and dark chocolate). been a while since i had that tho.
i have been bulking for 4 months seriously so far so my diet is a little loose. i was going to cut for the summer and to see what i have really gained but at the same time i decided to compete next april at the ronnie colman classic. if i put on some more size i will have a better chance of coming home successful. currently i run anywhere between 198 & 206 depending on what time i tip the scales. i want 220 to 230 by january and sit at around 195ish with really low bf% come contest time. currently i am around 15% bf.
tim, what class would i fall into at 195?

Glad there is thread on this. Gotta have that jolt in the morning. Nothing fancy, Maxwell House or Folger's black.
I've heard that some people can go through coffee withdrawl though and get nasty headaches.
