Does coffee break a fast? Build your cup and see what counts

Does a black coffee break your fast? It depends on what is in the cup and why you are fasting. Plain water, black coffee and plain tea are close to zero calories, while milk, sugar, honey, cream and butter are where the calories come from.

Build your cup, pick your reason for fasting, and see the calories and caffeine add up. Not medical advice.
