Is coffee an un/fit/ beverage? I don't like energy drinks,

Take green tea pills or nootropics if you need NRG. Initially might cost a lot but it's easier and faster to take and supply lasts for a while.

Why can't I just drink a nice cup of black blonde roast or some green tea, friend? Do I really need pills?

I drink coffee as preworkout and I'm fine. It has zero cals and some health benefits in moderation. What is your concern based on exactly?

>>40333044
As far as caffeine is concerned you're better off taking caffeine pills. Cheaper and healthier all around the board. Then next would be tea. People don't like the inconsistent feel of its caffeine effects/it's more costly than coffee, so most people end up drinking coffee.

TL;DR - Coffee is only healthy if you don't use sugar with only a slight amount of milk.

>>40333111
Second this, fuck sugar drink it straight

>>40333044
Don't listen to /fit/. Coffee is great and you can drink as much as you want.

>>40333111
Are you trying to claim milk is unhealthy?

>>40333044

same poster as above here...

for reference, an average teaspoon of instant coffee (about 2g) has approx 50mg caffeine...

meaning that the average cup of coffee consists of steeping of about 4g of instant coffee, and that a cup made from 100g (assuming a solution that supersaturated with solute is possible at a drinkable temp) would contain approximately 2500mg caffeine

>2500mg

>tfw you can't feel your face after your morning pickup

>>40334271
4g of instant coffee has around 20mg of magnesium. A cup of spinach (30g) has about 24mg
How the fuck is coffee not a significant source of magnesium? And for fucks sake, I never said you have to drink 25 cup of coffee per day.

yerba mate is the best way to get energized

>>40334271
2,5g caffeine isn't that much. It's just ~4.3 l of coffee.
