How much caffeine should you use

For most healthy adults, the golden rule is 400 milligrams (mg) per day—roughly four 8-ounce cups of brewed coffee. But before you pour that next cup, remember that caffeine hides in more than just your morning roast. Energy drinks, teas, sodas, and even chocolate all contribute to your daily total.

While 400 mg is the baseline, limits change based on who you are. Expecting mothers should cap their intake at 200 mg, teenagers at 100 mg, and children should avoid it altogether. If you are regularly experiencing jitters, insomnia, a racing heart, or unexplained anxiety, you might be crossing your personal threshold.

Keeping a mental tally of every milligram is exhausting. That is exactly why we created our new caffeine calculator. Simply input your daily beverages, and our tool will do the math for you. It is the easiest way to visualize your intake, stay within safe limits.
