Calories are potential energy, like gas for a car. Coffee is basically water flavored with coffee beans and some caffeine.
Caffeine does NOT give you “energy” the same way that food does. Caffeine does one thing that has a domino like effect in your system: it blocks chemicals that make you feel tired from being absorbed. When these chemicals can’t be absorbed your body releases adrenaline which causes your body to feel “energized” by elevating your heart rate and causing you to release more stored energy (fat).
Note that the effect is short lived and not an effective fat loss technique on its own — adrenaline rushes are followed by cortisol releases which make you hungry and redistribute fat to your visceral stores.
