Does coffee with cream break a fast?

Heavy cream, also sold as double or whipping cream, has about 50 kcal per 15 ml tablespoon. Almost all of that comes from fat, with very little milk sugar. A second tablespoon doubles the count to about 100 kcal, and three across a morning come to about 150.

The site judges every item against four goals that it devised itself. For blood sugar, the database rates cream safe, because it carries so little sugar. For weight loss, one tablespoon sits right at the 50-calorie rule of thumb. That line is common among people who fast and has no official status, so one spoonful is grey and a second one breaks the fast. Cream has to be digested, so it ends a gut-rest fast, and it breaks the stricter autophagy goal too.

Sugar-free creamer is a separate product. Liquid versions have about 15 to 20 kcal per tablespoon, mostly from fat, so they are lower in calories without being calorie-free.
