Hello. I did not know this group was here.

5. yes, butter.

I'm using 1 tablespoon for a 16 ounce coffee, which comes out to 102 calories. Hitting with a stick blender's important, otherwise it doesn't make the whole thing creamy.

I've gone low carb so some extra fat's allowed (it's always a tradeoff). The flavored creamer would be about half those calories (little less) for a tablespoon. The difference is that for a 16 oz coffee, I was using at least 2 tbs of the creamer, and the sugar in it increased my appetite/cravings whereas the plain butter leaves me feeling more full for longer. With the creamer, I'd be going back for seconds, sucking down coffee (and more creamer) all morning on weekends when I'm home.

Whether or not that's a good choice for you completely depends on what strategy you're using for the diet. Are you going with a particular plan?
