Oh well I use to hate coffee all my life.but when I was in my 2nd month I use to only crave for coffee.infact the after effects of coffee was not that good since I wud after many hours get palpitations n panic feeling all over my body.Soon I realised that starbucks serves Decaff and I started drinking one cup of decaff a day for a few months which was perfectly fine and suited me..Also now I dont crave for coffee any more the way I use too.so I would suggest you have a Decaff..All the Best

I read that decaf is worse to drink because of the harsh chemicals they use to remove the caffine leaves residue

A cup of coffee is fine. Maybe try decaf if it really bothers you.

Yes it's ok to, but for weight gain you will probably want to limit junk food as much as you can and eat more fruits and veggies. Maybe try veggie chips and freeze dried fruits to squish the cravings.
