If it’s coffee/tea, how do you take it? I typically end up consuming 200-400 Mg a day depending on if I go to the gym or work overnight. I either do black coffee (iced ideally) or sugar free redbull/monster. I’m considering switching to caffeine pills but I know it wont scratch that habitual itch of drinking it down.
Loose leaf tea, re-steeped several times over the course of the day. The caffeine content goes down with each successive stepping, but good quality whole leaves will still let you get several cups out of them.
I stop making it at 3, which usually gives me enough time to metabolize it and sleep normally.
One cup of coffee with milk in the morning
preworkout, 400mg/day before training, ofc not if I rest
2-3 regular sized coffee mugs a day.
Probably between 200-300mg. I would never do caffeine pills, as I enjoy my methods of caffeine consumption.
Typically, I’ll either drink a 2-cup moka pot, or some espresso. I never drink drip or French press coffee. Too bland. Turkish coffee is also good, but I don’t get that too often.
If not coffee, it’s usually Monster rehabs or Celsius. Tea is more for enjoyment than the caffeine content.
Zero.
There are too few of us.
I used to drink nearly 2 litres per day. Then I got an allergic reaction to it, including sudden coffee aversion. I no longer drink coffee, because it gives me eczema, not worth it.
Do not overdo your coffee drinking if you like it!
None anymore. It took me a while to realize the the most energetic and level headed people that I know in my life don’t even consume caffeine.
Caffeine addition keeps you permanently tired and getting the next hit just brings you back up closer to to the energy levels of people who don’t consume it.
It is hard as hell to quit because it is so addictive, but the other side is so much better…
I tried to eliminate caffeine to reduce anxiety in combination with my ADHD meds.
My morning routine without coffee was hard; decaf helped a lot though. Ultimately didn’t kick the addiction though.
If I may be so bold, 400mg is a lot. Your body habituates, so why push the envelope?
I like to boof a pot of coffee in the morning.
The silent majority has been real silent in this thread — but thank you for speaking up for proper technique.
I somewhat recently found out my SO thought boofing was just chugging. The revelation and explanation changed the meaning of a decade of jokes in an instant.
Hell yeah
2 double espressos to start the day, 3-4 more singles throughout the day. Cutoff for coffee is 7pm, and I usually have 1-2 hot green teas in the evening to wind down.
It’s one of my last remaining vices of significance, very tough for me to get going without caffeine and I get a headache by mid afternoon if I don’t get me some by then.
I’m surprised at most of the people in this thread with their minimal intake. Good for you I guess. To the boofers: I get it, but just not for me.
I snort it directly off of my The Real Book
The most proper use for a Real Book.
Sick
I drink three cups of coffee a day, first thing in the morning. If there is caffeine in something else I consume I am ignorant of it.
Fair enough
Occasionally, energy drinks as I like the fruity taste of some of them. Otherwise, I don’t consume heavily caffeinated drinks.
1-3 cups of coffee per day. I try to keep it low, with little success.
