    No. Nothing legal boosts your metabolism and the illegal stuff isn’t fun.

    Nah, but jiggling your leg uncontrollably burns some calories ;)

    It can cause you to be more active with things like fidgeting or a little bit more movement which will burn calories, people usually mistake increase movement for increased metabolism

    It's my understanding that it burns about 1/2 extra calorie a day. Except it can be a good laxative, which could cause more.

    Coffee pre-workout -> More reps -> More muscle -> More calories burned.

    Huzzah!

    Taking the added extra calorie burn from the reported half a calorie to maybe an extra 4-6 calories per day in a few months . . . which is an optimistic timeline, depending on demographics and details. :D

    You know this, Retro. Do hopeful new folks? Dunno.

    people have this misunderstanding about extra muscle and calorie burn. A pound of muscle burns around 6-8 calories a day at rest. Maybe you slightly more during exercise.

    1. I said "huzzah", as in, I wasn't being entirely serious.
    2. I said "more". It can potentially be "more", as you agree. I did not say it was a lot, and I doubt anyone thought so.

    Yes, especially if you use a heavy mug, more resistance to the mouth which translates into more calories burned, simple hydrodynamics, which is the study of fluids, very scientific didn't you know. :#

    Abbey talks about caffeine in the green and black tea, but it also applies to coffee, in general. She also debunks other woo about metabolism snacks, etc. It's very enlightening. I recommend watching the entire video.
