How does caffeine in soda influence appetite and calorie intake?

Caffeine in soda can influence appetite by initially suppressing hunger, but it may also lead to increased calorie intake over time as it can disrupt sleep patterns and cause cravings for high-calorie foods. Additionally, the high sugar content in caffeinated sodas can lead to increased overall calorie consumption. Managing caffeine intake and opting for healthier beverages can help regulate appetite and calorie intake.
