I've always done two small cups of coffee with skim milk in the morning. I only drink protein shakes and water after my second cup of the day.
As Mel said, this is what I can live with and nothing less. I have a small cup of coffee when I wake up and a small cup when I get to work. After that I definitely can do without it. If I were competing I might do something else, but I'm not.
I avoid almost all dairy except for the skim milk in my coffee...I occasionally have Dannon carb control yogurt just because I think the vanilla creme tastes like ice cream
. When I did BFL I did yogurt on my free day.
When I did BFL I kept it to two small cups a day (and yes, they ARE small, no 16 ozs for me!
)
