Here’s more reason to love coffee and for those who want to lose weight. According to Health Magazine, a recent Spanish study, published in the International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism found that:

…trained athletes who took in caffeine pre-exercise burned about 15% more calories for three hours post-exercise, compared to those who ingested a placebo. The dose that triggered the effect was 4.5 mg of caffeine per kilogram of body weight. For 150-pound woman (68 kg), that’s roughly 300 mg of caffeine, the amount in about 12 ounces of brewed coffee, a quantity you may already be sipping each morning.
