  • too much caffeine?

    I usually drink about two cups of coffe a day: 1 in the morning on an empty stomach, and then one later in the afternoon, probably around 3 or so. I do this because caffeine is said to boost metabolism, esp. on an empty stomach. However, I would like to drink green tea as well for its benifits. Will this be too much caffeine for my system? I'm 5'8" and 168, bf ~9-10%

    If I were you, drop the coffee and replace it with green tea if you want some caffeine. Coffee is very acidic unlike green tea; I don't drink coffee anymore.

    At your stats, why worry about metabolism? You worried about fat?

      No no nothing like that, I just want to be sure that I'm not taking in caffeine to the point that it will hurt me instead of help me.

        Your fine man. The L-Theanine in the green tea helps to negate the negatives from caffine, so you're well within acceptable range in my opinion. I drink 1-2 cups a day myself.

                lmao...me too. i'm a fiend for it

                honestly, i think when you can feel an addiciton (which i can) that's when i'd say too much.

                that being said, a moderate amount of caffeine has been shown to have a lot of health benefits -- increased mental acuity, increased metabolic rate, lowers risk for alzheimers, etc.

                i'd say you'd be fine having a couple cups of each per day, both coffee and green tea. if you feel it's too much...just switch to green tea and see how you feel.
