Hydration Calculator

Found this yesterday evening and thought I would share it with you all…I got a bit of a shock when it came back with the figure I should be having – 135oz it said for me but it also said that if I am eating a healthy diet with plenty of veg and fruit then I could ain for 105 oz instead as I would be getting water in my fruit and veg too….

I am definately going to try and aim for over the 100 oz mark today as I have my 1st WI tomorrow morning and I want a loss!!!! Previously I have been having around 80 oz of water so its an extra few glasses for me today. *sip*

According to that, I need 96 oz. Guess I better start drinking more.

This is a great little tool! It showed me that I should be drinking 126 oz. … 100 if I’m eating well, as you said. I’ve been aiming for 100 (usually 96 is what I get) so that’s on target. Thanks for sharing the link. :)

That’s a great resource! I’m already drowning in drinking lots of water, and the amount it told me is just a few ounces more than I’m drinking. I’m adding your find to the Helpful Links in the sidebar! Thanks!!!

Very interesting. Mine said 105 or 83 with a healthy diet. Play the P2G drinking game with me. Every time you read or write the word “awesome” in a post or comment, take a drink of water. We should all be well hydrated before to long. It will be awesome! :winking: Cheers

This is a great resource! I’m here:

112.3 ounces of water today.

If you eat a healthy diet, about 20 percent of your water need may come from the foods you eat. If you eat a healthy diet you can drink 89.8 ounces of water today.

Wow…that thing suggests I should drink way more than my docs have said to… Granted, I drink a heck of a lot more than it even suggests on medication breakthrough days, but still.

Yikes! It put me at over a gallon! Of course I got dinged for living in a high altitude in a dry climate…

That was interesting, thanks for sharing. :)
