Eyeballs and I don't have time for your FUCKING NUMBERS STOP BREATHING AT ME
two cups a day, stopping before 3pm. usually shit my pants at around 10
400 Mg? sounds orders of magnitude beyond lethal. How do you even shove all that into your system?
Thats like 4 standard cups of coffee throughout the day lol. I strictly work 12 hour shifts. So, on my overnights I do about 100 mg on the way in and a few more coffees/energy drinks through the night. If I go to the gym I do another 100 mg right before I start lifting. Day shifts I'll do 100 on the way in and usually a mid day coffee or a coffee before I hit the gym. I also have ADHD so caffeine hits me kinda weakly.
I think it's a joke about Mg vs mg.
I had to significantly cut back because of my SSRIs so I take 400mg in the morning before going on a 2h Bike ride before sunset.
I completely replaced coffee with these energy drink mix that helps stay hydrated while cycling and is keto friendly / sugar free.
Highly recommend it, normally I drink one pouch (200mg) when I wake up, and I take the second L with me on the bike with some extra electrolytes. It's what plants crave!
2 mugs of 10 oz dark coffee, black, extra strong. I’m currently moderating, trying to stick to that.
I’ve found that k-cups have a similar advantage to soda cans when you want to moderate. You can’t fill up a super-mug and there is no pot/2L bottle to finish. Portion control is crucial
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 drink about 1, 24oz can of NOS a day and those have, IIRC, 350mg of caffeine total. It's 4 servings.
Tea, about 6 pints a day, my cup holds just over 1 pint 6* a day. I have mini tuocha for home, tea resin for travel, and some curio tea for variety.
I have caffeine pills in the car, but I've never used them. As for caffeine amount I dunno... a lot probably.
Zero.
I miss coffee, but I can't afford decaff right now. Been drinking a lot of roibis tea recently. Tastes good especially with oat milk and no caffeine
Boof it; Enough.
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.
Ideal amount, 3-5/day
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..
This is not true for everyone
de nile is not just a river in egypt
And science is science
And caffeine is drugs
I don't, I have a medical condition that can make people sensitive to caffeine and I am one of those people. I honestly appreciate not relying on a stimulant anymore. I had already severely reduced my intake prior to my condition and I don't miss it. I sleep better and feel better in general without it.
Yeah if I didn't work the weird ass swing shift I do I'd probably try to stop.
Not throwing shade, but caffeine is a crutch.
If you ditched it, it would suck for a few months sure, but then your brain will adjust.
I've been caffeine free for over 20 years. If I stay up super late, or wake up super early, I struggle for a moment, but then I'm fine.
Water is my go to in the morning.
Your body is so used to caffeine, that you're literally medicating yourself for a condition you created for yourself. You need it in the morning on a weird shift, because you always use it in the morning on a weird shift.
Again, sorry for the rant, I just feel very strongly about this scientific fact.
Best wishes to you
I quit caffeine. I think I realized something around “this is supposed to be a drug that aides me when I’m tired and need to not be” that caused me to finally try and kick the morning habit. I’ll still drink it, but it’s an as needed thing now.
It took about 1-2 weeks for me to start feeling normal again- I was cranky and very tired for a while. Now I feel the same as before when I was appropriately “caffeinated”
Buying fancy decaf coffee helped curb the ritual habit, too. So I still make lattes and what not but they’re just treats, plus I can drink them in the evening without worry too.
I quit for about a year and a half and by the end just thought I was stupid due to aging/ motherhood. Then one day I accidentally consumed like 2 cups worth (migraine meds have a ton of caffeine!) And I was a super hero that day. I got so much done! I could actually do puzzles again! My brain worked! Then I checked the medicine bottle and was like... oh.
Anyway, I'm diagnosed with ADHD now and realized I've been self medicating with caffeine since high school. I'll never go off it again unless I get actually medicated. I also drink a ton of decaf because I just love drinking coffee
I'll never go off it again unless I get actually medicated.
Tell me you’re from the US without telling me you’re from the US.
My brother has been off his medication while unemployed / interviewing / first 90 days of his new job until his insurance kicks in. Breaks my heart to hear him describe how hard it is to know he's intelligent, but everyone at his new job genuinely believes he's dumb. Kid has an IQ of 141, but without ADHD meds is barely scraping by at his office.
preworkout, 400mg/day before training, ofc not if I rest
Damn that is a lot to be dumping into your system for a workout. Do you not get jitters?
Is it? I use to take more than this every day, Just recently cut back down to 400mg because of medication
Never really got the jitters, but then again I do mostly cardio, I do feel the effects in my train of thought tho and in my breathing.
