Fitday.com says that 1 tsp of instant coffee has .37g of carbs. As far as the creamer goes, it depends on whether it is the powdered stuff or liquid. Likely between 1.5g - 3g per oz.

I wish you every success!

Hi ramses+me :wave:

Smoosh answered your question about how many carbs in coffee.

When I started this woe, (way of eating) I never worried to much about the carb count in coffee. In my opinion there is such a small amount of carbs in coffee I didn't even bother counting them, I think the only problem coffee may have with some people is it stimulates the appetite (I think by raising your blood sugar) which may be difficult for some people. I have 2 cups of coffee in the morning because I truly enjoy "that moment", I just make sure I have my low carb breakfast near by to enjoy after my coffee.

I wish you the best, good luck to you! :wiggle:

However there are more carbs in instant coffee than brewed coffee, and more carbs in creamer than there are in actual cream.

Instant coffee is less than 1 per spoonful but why are you putting creamer in it! It is full of glucose syrup! The lowest option is unsweetened soya milk (almost 0 - but takes some getting used to) and second lowest heavy cream.

thanks for all advice.no more creamer for me!
but i will stay with my coffee as i love my coffee too much to give it up yet!!!!!

I am also on induction and a coffee adict! I count each 6 oz cup as 1 carb - (I have 1/2 decaf mixed with 1/2 REAL stuff) I need my coffee and would rather count it in my total carbs than go without! I haven't found it to increase my appetite at all! I may lose more slowly doing this but in time will cut back!
