Half-and-half is 10% fat.

Dunk 1 part 10% cream into 4 parts coffee and you get 2% fat coffee.

Very simple maths.

MrX can confirm.

Since coffee is essentially calorie/nutrient free, isn't essentially like just eating the half/half alone? Which would be closer to %12 fat ... You are not diluting the fat content by putting it into a cup of coffee.


Maybe you are correct, I am just not following the logic here. Seems you are just changing the fat to coffee ratio...you are not making %12 fat into %2 fat calories.
 
:facepalm:

If you eat a gram of pure fat, it's still just a gram of 100% fat. You're not going to die. The fact that it is 100% fat is not a big deal since you ingested so little of it.

That's the logic in recomputing the % of fat based on the total amount of liquid ingested.

Sometimes I think you're combative just for the sake of it.

Ok Casper, You just restated my argument...and changing it to a different point.
and I'm certainly not being combative here for "the sake of it." I was really attempting to understand your logic. I'm really not quibbling about 2 grams of fat...but have you ever actually measured out your half and half? Do that sometime...it may shock you how much you are actually using. I don't know anyone who actually only uses 1-2 Tbs. Maybe you are in that group...if so congratulations.

Go eat a Quarter Pounder. Your tone is coming across hungry.
 
Dude, I used your 80/20 as an example.

Twenty-percent 10% cream makes a coffee that has 2% fat content. Which means that it's like drinking a similar amount of 2% milk. That is not debatable.

Even if your cream turns out to be 12% fat instead of 10%, the difference is negligible (2.4% instead of 2%).

You're not very good at teh maths.

I guess not. I am not getting that argument at all. So if something is %100 proof and you mix it with water, it's no longer 100 proof?

The fat percentage will not change. Butter is %100 fat regardless of how much you eat. The amount of fat you take in and the calories will..but if any item is x percent fat, it will remain that, regardless of serving size.

I think I know what you are trying to say, but either you are expressing it poorly, or I haven't had enough coffee with my creamer today.

I really think you are wrong in saying you can make half and half like %2 by mixing enough coffee with it.
 
I think we are arguing different things, or the same things differently...or something......
I had less trouble with the Monte Hall problem...which also makes for fascinating discussion.



You are probably right, but somewhere my logic has gone askew..it happens. I'll re-read the thread after noon and an Ativan..


....and to think I have an MIT grad brother.


Actually I'm still not conceding yet...I'm going to do the numbers......later.
 
I'm sticking to Red Bull.

I guess what I'm thinking is that %100 of the calories still come from fat no matter how much you put in as there is no fat in coffee. Does that make sense or am I just really that confused...which is entirely possible.
