Water counting confusion

spaceclown · 06-20-2006, 06:58 PM

Ola all,
All right I am trying to track my water a little more accurately so I can post it in my logs since I think people could use the reminder (including me) of the importance of it. So the question is when you count water like 1, 1.5, 27 gallons, ok maybe not 27, do you include water you add to protein shakes, supps, etc? or just naked water? I know its nit picky but was curious.

I only include the bottled water I drink, the rest is a bonus

In my log I track it by 8 ounce servings, so alot of time I HAVE 35-45 8 oz. servings, thats a whole lotta water

Pimp boy

I don't count the water from my shakes and such.

What I do is drag a gallon jug with me. If I need to refill it during the day, I'm doing good.

I try to get two gallons in the jugs and count that. I usually don't count any thing in shakes.

Thanks guys and gal. I typically have not counted it but was curious. I too carry around a 1 gallon jug.

**romanaz** · 06-21-2006, 11:42 AM

the gallon jug is the only way to go... plus you get extra cool points when at a stop light if you reach over and chug it and then look up at the other guys next to you and just smile. :-D

thax for the advice imma start working out and now to make sure im getting enough water

**Sholiz** · 06-22-2006, 11:04 PM

I too count it by gallons, if I have to fill it twice in a day (meaning I drank 1 gallon already, have to fill it again) I'm doing good. Usually 4-5:00 I've got one gallon down and fill my next.

**Sixpack** · 06-23-2006, 11:25 AM

Personally I just carry a water bottle around wherever I go, I don't really sit and count up how many times I fill it up lol

one time i won a bet with a co-worker...

he told me i couldn't drink 24 16oz water bottles during one shift....

needless to say, I walked home 8 dollars richer.

To recap this thread succesfully intaking enough water is directly related to having big jugs? Sounds good to me.

**BigZeke** · 06-26-2006, 06:56 PM

I have a 7.5L jug that I refill every day. I set a goal to drink it within a 24 hr period. Other sources of water include protein shakes, water I use for making oats and the 1.5L bottle I take to the gym. On some days I have to refill that bottle, others not so much.

it does not matter how much water you drink.
