Article: How Much Water Should You Drink?

and sooooo - what is the answer?
okay, i understand you don't want to put a "specific number" on it, as yes it will be IMPOSSIBLE to count to water held in foods.
that is why, Shawn, we count the h2o we consume from drinking water to begin with -- because it IS the one thing we can reliably track. any water from food sources is then gravy....
 
Mens Fitness Magazine once again providing terrible articles. As an initial rough estiamte I tell people to divide their weight in half and thats the amount in ounces they should consume daily. Me personally I shoot for 0.75-1 gallon a day. Once a personal knows their minimals for on/off training days they can subjectively assess their level of hydration.
 
I believe, drink enough water to satisfy your thirst. Simple concept. Just make sure when your thirsty, you get something healthy and not a coke or dr.pepper... You don't need to pick up a fitness mag to tell you hey, when your thirsty drink something.... Umm we started crying for a titty when we were babies. We figured that **** out then. Get it when we want it or need it.
 
to take into account all variables for hydration, look at your urine. the darker it is the more fluids you need.
