Green tea is unlikely to provide you any benefit outside the antioxidants because the amount of EGCG's that you get from them are not enough to improve fat burning unless you are drinking a ton of it daily and is highly dependent on not consuming caffeine daily. Also, bioavailability comes into play.
Essentially, to get any fat burning effect from the EGCG's, you need to a standard dose of 400 to 500mg (about 10 cups or more) and not consume caffeine.

There are caveats to it, it depends on bio availability and caffeine has an adverse effect.0 -
