The 16:8 – can I drink coffee with milk?

    I have no worries doing 16hours without food as long as I can drink a couple of coffees in the morning to get me started. I don’t make them completely on milk, just instant coffee with a long dollop of milk. Is this allowed within the 16hrs, in the morning (so it would be between the 12-16hr period)?

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    If you are doing the 16:8 for weight-loss and health benefits, then I’d say no to the milk as it’s only adding calories.
    I’m also on 16:8 and take my coffee black anyway. Good luck!

    The app says only black coffee.

    Thank you Viola and Paintrocks48, much appreciated. I’m going to have to learn to love black coffee to get through to the 11-12ish breakfast/lunch!

    Hi Viola: black coffee is ideal for all sorts of reasons (lots of polyphenols and zero calories) so a taste well worth acquiring. That said a small dollop of milk wouldn’t make any significant difference

    A small dollop will break the fast.
