Does black coffee break the fast? No sweetener, not a flavored coffee.

I'm no expert, but everything I've read says coffee/tea is ok. I drink tea (love coffee, don't love what it does to me!) these days, and I put a bit of cream in it which is technically cheating, but seems fine so far.

No.
I'm very similar to the OP. I rarely eat breakfast. If I do, I can expect my body to have hunger pangs the next morning at breakfast time. However, black coffee doesn't affect me (I even add creamer so I get some morning fat sugar fuel, but not much). I also stopped drinking alcohol but a few times a year. If I drink alcohol after about 6 pm, I will get hunger pangs the next morning. I've never been overweight in my life and I stopped eating breakfast after high school.
