I've been on an ECA stack before, and probably will do so again to supplement my diet and exercise right now during my cutting phase, but I was wondering on the whole, how well do fat burning supplements work (calorie-wise)?
I know they work, and I don't need info on how they work, but I wanted a sort of ballpark figure of how many extra calories they burn per day~
i.e. full daily dosage of ECA Stack probably metabolizes your body to burn an extra 100-200 calories per day~~ (just an estimate)
Does anybody want to venture a calorie per day number?

a big part of how most fat burners work is by suppressing appetite and increasing activity level. I would say at there highest, with a great stack, maybe a 10-15% BMR increase, maybe 20% if you go all out. EC, one of the cornerstone fat loss stacks, is beleived to increase by apprx 3-5%. Of course you can add goodies to increase that.
I will say that for some people, maybe those with some type of metabolic impairment, these stacks seem to increase it more. Seem, I really cant say for sure.
but as stimulants the increase in activity can be quite significant, leading to a lot higher increase in total cals burned through the day. How much, in my opinion, varies a HUGE amount.

wow, thanks for the quick and great reply.
As for appetite suppresant and increased activity, I don't think I can benefit too much from there. I do various forms of cardio about 30 min - 1 hr. every day (sports, running, etc.), and I'm walking around campus for a good 30 minutes - 1 hr. total every day. My diet is at about its minimum susetenance level too - 1800 healthy calories per day about. (i'm 5'10, 172 lbs.).
Like i inferred in my post, I'm mainly looking forward to the boosted metabolism for the extra calorie burn from supplements. I also have 8am classes every day, and for me in the mornings I'm only half awake for them. I enjoyed the slight energy boost I got from ECA stack, and I found it to help out my concentration in the morning (kinda just like having a cup of coffee).
Thanks for giving me a different viewpoint, though. Burning an extra 100-250 calories per day from supplements won't make up for a bad diet or no exercise.

yeah mate, there are some pretty dodgy abreviations used in these forums, you might wanna take a glance at one of the stickies in the supplement section where they tell you all of them.Originally posted by NewSc2
