I love coffee, well cappuccino actually. I drink probably too much although I usually gave decaf. I use semi skimmed milk but should I switch to skimmed? Or something else?

I have coffee black or with full cream milk and a sweetener. I limit the milk to half a cup a day for rea and coffee and another half for cearalsI love coffee, well cappuccino actually.

From the Tesco website Whole Milk has 4.7% carbs, Skimmed Milk has 5.0% carbs so for a 40ml addition to tea or coffee that makes a difference of 0.12g of carbs.Depends, are you following a LCHF diet? If so then use double cream, skimmed & semi-skimmed milk contain more lactose [sugar] than full fat milk and cream has an even lower amount of lactose.

Thank for all the replies. I'm not sure I could go for cream in coffee to be honest and as the carbs in the difference milks seem similar I'll just still to the semi skimmed - but maybe cut back on the amount of cups I'm having.
Perhaps test before and after to see what milk does to your levels. We all react differently to the same foods. As you have quite a few of these coffees in a day, it is important you know how much they affect you.
I googled cappuccino and it seems to have about 8 gm of carb per half pint made with low fat milk - that is a whole breakfast for me!!
