Could drinking coffee daily cause a skinny person to burn calories?

Specializes in Family Medicine

Maybe.: Caffeine may slightly boost weight loss or prevent weight gain, but there's no sound evidence that increased caffeine consumption results in significant or permanent weight loss. Caffeine is also a diuretic, you will lose more fluids for sure.
