These drinks range in caloric content, but typically contain caffeine in amounts greater than 1-2 cups of coffee.  Additionally, they employ marketing claims such as \u201cincreased energy\u201d, \u201cincreased attention\/alertness\u201d, \u201cincreased metabolism\u201d, and \u201cincreased fat-burning\u201d.  While stimulants such as caffeine are widely known to increase energy and alertness, the claims related to the increased metabolism and fat-burning effects of these drinks have received less attention.  Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the claims (\u201caccelerates metabolism\u201d and \u201cburns body fat\u201d) on a commercially available, sugar-free energy drink that contains 200 mg of caffeine (~ 2.5, 6 oz cups of coffee) and  a proprietary mix of guarana extract, green tea extract, taurine, ginger root extract, and glucuronolactone.  Methods: Eleven college-aged (22\u00b11y) subjects were randomly assigned to consume 12-ounces of a commercially available energy drink (Celsius Live Fit&#x2122;) or 12-ounces of a placebo drink (0 calorie sparkling water) 1 hour before the measurement of resting metabolic rate (RMR) at trial visit 1.  Approximately a week later (trial visit 2), subjects returned, and a second RMR was conducted 1 hour after consuming the other drink.  RMR (kcal\/hr) and fat metabolism (kcal\/hr) were measured using indirect calorimetry.  Twenty-four hour physical activity level and macronutrient intake did not differ between the trials.  Results:  Ingestion of Celsius resulted in an elevated metabolic rate (76\u00b114 kcal\/hr) compared to placebo (69\u00b115 kcal\/hr) (p&lt; 0.01).  Fat metabolism was not significantly affected by Celsius ingestion.  Conclusion:  Though the increase was modest, the claim that Celsius \u201caccelerates metabolism\u201d was supported by the results of this study.  The claim that it \u201cburns body fat\u201d was not supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Authors<\/strong>: Emma Marcille, Rachel Tumbleson, Brendon Cox, Kaitlyn Dick, Monique Esbrand, Kayla Fry, Addie Karlblom, Taylor Maxwell, Caitlyn Picard, Brittany Stanko, Austin Waterwall, Lydia Wolferst<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Faculty Advisor<\/strong>: Kyle L.
