When he catches you mid discussing your love for coffee ✨☕️.
.
A super common question I get from my one-on-one nutrition counseling clients is about coffee intake- is it safe? How much is too much? Is it bad for us? Let’s talk about it.
.
Usually when people are concerned about coffee intake, they’re mainly considering the caffeine. One cup (8 oz/250 mL) of coffee has ~100 mg of caffeine (this varies depending on the roast/brand). In general, I recommend clients stick to less than 400 mg of caffeine per day, so less than 4 cups. Remember, this is standard cups, not mugs ? Many of my clients say they have 3-4 coffees per day, but don’t realize that their ‘cups’ are actually 2 cups worth!
.
So why do we care how much caffeine we’re consuming? ?‍♀️ Firstly, drinking coffee with non-heme iron rich foods (i.e. kale, beans, lentils, other legumes, tofu, tempeh) can decrease iron absorption. To avoid this, try drinking your morning coffee ~30 mins separate from your breakfast. Some studies show that exceeding 400 mg of caffeine may cause calcium loss from bones, but research isn’t totally conclusive. Having a high caffeine intake might impact your sleep and stress levels, which in turn can impact our energy levels, food choices, whether we choose to be active, etc. ✨.
.
All this considered, I recommend sticking to less than 4 cups of coffee per day and trying to avoid drinking it with meals as often as possible. Are you a coffee drinker?! I’d love to know! ☕️
