How much caffeine do you drink and do you find it helps or hiders your weight loss (or other goals)? Does it interrupt your hunger in any good or bad ways? Has anyone got interesting caffeine stories? Coffee drinker here, three cups a day, no sleep issues but sometimes jittery, with much happier workouts after my first or second cup of the day.

I have a Tassimo machine so I have either one caramel latte or one vanilla latte with my breakfast and then it's water for me for the rest of the day, just because that's how I like it. I can't say that it affects me either way because I eat a big breakfast and snack in the morning before a high protein lunch but I suppose it could make you hungrier? IDK. If it works for you, why try and fix it?1

5 cups of coffee a day

One diet coke per day1

I drink around 10 black tea a day and then take caffeine pills before long runs.3
-
1-2 cans of Diet Dr Pepper, either regular or cherry2
-
2-3 cups of coffee a day and 1-2 cans of diet soda a day.
Caffeine has had no affect of my weight, though during my active weight loss phase I found that diet soda helped me quite a bit (when I wanted something sweet I'd have a can instead).3 -
One cup of coffee and two espressos a day usually. No issues with weight loss. I find I am more alert and have better workouts when I have caffeine.2

I drink about a pot of coffee per day, a couple diet sodas, and when I work out...still take a pre-workout. I dunno. It's a lot but I like it1

I drink two or three Pepsi max a day. It doesn't cause sleep problems and gives me a boost of energy.0

Once a day.0

3 cans of Diet Coke a day0

Depends on how deep into a cut I am
At maintence or the start of a cut
2-3 coffees a day.
Deep into a cut basically an iv drip
Of the stuff3 -
A lot!1
-
20 oz of black dark roast coffee a day. Helps suppress appetite and increases energy.1

I cut back from 12 to about 8 cups of coffee a day. It makes no difference for me for weight or hunger. I might be a coffee addict though.6

Normally one cup of strong coffee, one diet coke and six cups of tea a day.
On a big cycle ride I will consume a lot more as it's in a lot of sports drinks and gels.
Might take a big caffeine pill if struggling with fatigue but it doesn't do a lot for me.
Not really responsive to caffeine, doesn't make me jittery, doesn't affect my sleep. Even a couple of double expresso coffees before riding my motorbike home from a nightshift didn't stop me falling asleep.... Luckily woke up just in time before I rode into an oncoming bus.4 -

Duuuude, be careful!3 -
As much as I possibly can....
Used to drink 6-12 cans diet code red mtn dew a day. Found it much cheaper to take caffeine pills. It doesnt do anything but make me human and awake. Otherwise I nod off constantly all day and feel like I am walking through jello. No workout if no caffeine.
Then again, I might just need a vacation (finally) !1 -
In the morning, usually 2 cups of coffee. Occasionally one more, or tea, in the afternoon. If I'm going to have any more than that it will be tea. I haven't had any problems and I think it helps with alertness and my activity level throughout the day.1

All my fluids contain caffeine, all 10 cups worth
I need alot of sleep naturally and have 2 kids who think sleep is for the weak (12 year old has never had a full nights sleep, she gets maybe 4 hours of broken sleep and a 15 month old who wakes frequently) so caffeine is needed to keep me awake2
