Is coffee carnivore, and how many carbs are in a cup?
Black coffee has effectively no carbohydrate. The figure above — 0g per 100g brewed — holds for espresso, americano and a plain mug alike, and the single calorie per 100g is trace solubles rather than anything worth logging.
Carnivore is the harder call, and this page scores it strictly: coffee is brewed from a plant, so the strictest reading — the lion diet, or meat, salt and water — excludes it. In practice black coffee is commonly kept anyway, on the reasoning that it contributes no meaningful carbohydrate, protein or calories. That's a judgement call rather than a macro problem. If you're running a strict elimination to identify symptom triggers, drop it for the elimination window and reintroduce it on its own afterwards.
What actually adds carbs is what goes in. Milk brings milk sugar: around 9g of carbs from the 200ml of milk in a large latte, before any syrup. Double cream is far lower — about 0.75g in a 30ml splash — which is why it's the standard keto and carnivore choice. Flavoured syrups and 'skinny' versions are usually the worst offenders.

Can you drink coffee on the carnivore diet?
Strictly speaking no — it's a plant product, and the strictest versions of carnivore exclude it — but it's commonly kept. Black coffee adds no meaningful carbohydrate, protein or calories, so it doesn't affect your macros; the question is whether you want a plant-derived stimulant in an elimination diet. If you're testing for symptom triggers, cut it for the elimination period.
Is coffee part of the carnivore diet?
Not part of it, but commonly kept alongside it. Carnivore is defined by animal foods and coffee is brewed from a seed, so it sits outside the definition — this page scores it that way. Whether you keep black coffee is a personal judgement rather than a macro question, with the lion diet (beef, salt, water) at the strict end excluding it entirely.
How many carbs are in a cup of coffee?
Black coffee has 0g of carbs whatever the cup size — a mug, an espresso and an americano are all zero. Carbs come from what you add: around 9g from the 200ml of milk in a large latte, about 0.75g from a 30ml splash of double cream, and considerably more from flavoured syrups.
