Caffeine

[Jayne Scott]

Hi y'all, how much caffeine (daily) should be consider as too much even though it helps boost metabolism and energy levels before workout?

It’s different for everyone. And over the past 10 years I’ve consumed enough daily to kill an elephant. I know the safe dosage to stay under daily that has always been recommended, is 400mg.

I don't know if this applies to us, but like @IronSoul said, mere mortals should limit it to about 400mg ed.

Imho, stay away from so called energy drinks or any other of these high caffeine products, because consuming 200mg at one time just isn't healthy.

Pretty cool link. It said 640mg for me and I weigh 235.

Pretty much the same for me. I probably consume at least that on an average 16 hr day and should probably slow down, but I'm a constant coffee drinker.

I'm about 195 these days and my caffeine is generally between 400-500mg per day. Depending on what I'm doing. Back in the day I would take in around 800mg per day and 75mg ephedra.

Lol...it can be addictive TBH. At times I lose count of the cups I take as well.

400 mg seems to be the baseline from comments so far.

IMHO coffee is not the dangerous problem but some of the stuff people add to it is more problematic

My heart couldn't take two pots a day and I had to cut back.

That's worth a thought.
