Caffeine

Ok I know no more that 200mg a day is not good for you but really how much IS that I have about 1/2 a cup of coffee (I drink it from a tea cup so i feel like it's full lol) sometimes I want to have a cup of tea before bed, or a glass of coke, or something but I don't because I think "oh I had my coffee already" especially if I have a chocolate bar or something with my 1/2 cup a day. Am I being silly? Would it be ok to have 1/2 cup coffee, AND 1 cup tea or cola. What are you ladies doing?

    First, that is the worst run on sentence ever.

    Second, usually about 1 or 2 cups per day are fine and equal about 200mg.  But remember a cup is only 8oz. 

    Personally, I don't stress about chocolate.

    I keep it to two beverages a day or less.

    If you go to the starbucks website, they will tell you how much caffeine is in ALL their drinks, including a cup of just reg brewed coffee....... and they will tell you what size as well. I use that to kind of measure my caffeine intake for the day the best I can! If you know how many ounces your teacup is, that will help also!

    Per my Dr. a coffee in the morning and a pop or something at night if perfectly fine. I think they just don't want you drinking caffeine excessively.

    Here's a pretty good chart:

    you can find more like this by Googling.  Watch the portion sizes.

    It really depends on the coffee but a cup of reg. is about 135mg, but I know a can of pepsi has 38mg of caffeine in it.

    I like my 1/2 caff coffee from foldgers. It has about 60mg of caffeine per cup.

    I`m sorry, I had a hard time understanding your question because of your lack of punctuation.  Deal.

    1. did you look at what everyone else wrote? You got some good advise!

    2. We are adults so we write like them. It makes it a lot easier to read!

    Hmm

    This. I had to read the responses to it because I couldn't figure out what you were asking.

    Yep.  I thought perhaps you'd overindulged in the caffeine before typing the question.

    I have 2 pops per day. I know it's not healthy - but it's pretty much my only unhealthy habit :-). Before I knew I was pregnant I was a grad student and having about 7 servings of caffeine per day. I went down to 1 pop for first trimester, and then I slowly upped it back to 2. Sounds like you're doing well and I wouldn't worry about a splurge here and there. If you have extra in a day, just drink  a lot of water and then have less the next day.
