caffeine increases your metabolic rate, but increases other factors that lead to weight gain sometimes. Which include cravings, restricted blood flow, increased stress levels.
but chemically, it affects the metabolism through high rates of fatty acid oxidation, thats why its a main component in weight loss drugs.
but if having a coffee makes your ass crave a 600 calorie cheese danish, well ya know not good.
