Can I consume coffee, tea, or other low calorie drinks on a keto based meal plan?
Black coffee, tea, and the odd low-calorie beverage are okay to consume on keto. These items are ok because they do not possess a significant calorie or carb count. They more or less count as "trace" carbs only.
Be mindful around the addition of things like milk, sugar, and cream, as these items may increase the calorie intake to the point they shouldn't be consumed in addition to your meal plan (keto or otherwise).
