Can you have black coffee while intermittent fasting?

Short answer

Black coffee usually does not break an intermittent fast because it has very few calories.

Step by step

1
Look up the calories and ingredients for black coffee.
2
Choose a rule before the fast starts so you are not deciding while hungry.
3
Use the same rule for at least a few fasts before judging whether it works.
Example

If black coffee makes you hungrier, switch back to water, plain tea, or black coffee for a cleaner test.
