Coffee fag Anonymous
Hi /fit/,

22 y/o male here. I recently started teaching high school and waking up at around 6 every morning which was much earlier than my normal college schedule. Because I need to stay active all day I just started drinking coffee, and have about 1.5-2.0 cups in the morning which lasts me most of the day. I was looking at "nutrition facts" on coffee but I really don't know how to interpret the high levels of caffeine and and was wondering if it was going to mess me up in the long run.

Is coffee healthier for daily drinking than a sugary drink like soda? Is caffeine altogether bad (I know it's a diuretic, but what does that mean?) Any insight would be helpful. Oh, and I work out probably 3-4 times a week for 1-2 hours at a time, so not ripped but generally athletic.

Ditch the coffee and take up smoking, it has no caffeine, no fats, no sugars, no sodium and it'll keep you alert for a couple of hours at a time.

Ive read of work out guides that say, a cup of coffee is fine for pre-work out to get you awake and energized. Just dont head over to starbucks and load up on lattes and sugars n all that crap.
I like to eat healthy and exercise at least once a day... I figure i can splurge on one cup of coffee in the morning if it helps me stay awake through 8am classes

of course caffeine is preferable to that. This dude is asking permission to drink a couple of cups of coffee a day. Meanwhile he probably eats all kinds of shit, drinks on weekends, and lies about how much he exercises. I smoke, I drink too much coffee, I cheat on my diet every second day, and I exercise 5 times a week. I guarantee I'm in better shape than the OP and most of /fit/. And if I'm not living a perfect lifestyle and still achieved a decent body, then I assume anyone that's struggling with it must be doing a lot worse job than me.

Well I don't drink, but all I wanted to know was the long-term effects of drinking coffee every morning. I just feel like I should know what's going in my body and how it's going to effect me, because the way I look at it right now is that unlike other sources of caffeine, coffee and tea have no nutritional downsides (other than the fact that I've heard people say it's unhealthy).

Quit being such a bitch. I drink, smoke, drink coffee, done my share of drugs, you'd be surprised how resistant your body is at a young age. The minute you stop any of those things you bounce back to 100%, if you were even less than 100% while you were drinking coffee etc.
