Caffeine gives you no real energy it just delays feeling tired by blocking receptors in your brain.

*Edit* I realised the way I worded this sounded a bit negative about caffeine. Caffeine is great I am personally a huge caffeine addict and quite frankly it not having calories is a benefit not a flaw, just because it doesn’t give you real energy doesn’t make the fact that it makes you feel more energetic any less valuable in the real world.
