A question I kept running into with time-restricted eating: if you take black coffee during your fast, where does a powdered “metabolism” coffee additive fit? I used Java Burn as the example and wrote up a calm, label-first checklist.

What I’d think through first:

• Read the label: any calories, sweeteners or fillers may matter to how strict your fast is. If you’re doing a clean fast, the safest call may be to save any additive for your eating window.

• Caffeine stack: an empty stomach plus extra caffeine can feel rough for some people. Start small.

• Sleep cutoff: if your window ends late, keep caffeine early.

• Check with a clinician if you have a medical condition, take medication, or are pregnant.

Curious how others here handle coffee during the fast: strictly black, or do you allow anything else?
