I was just wondering how much water or total fluids do you all drink daily. I know it says 8 cups. But i see some people say 1 gallon others say 2 gallons but thats on body building forums.

Thanks

    I don't aim for a particular amount. Hydration comes from virtually all liquids and from a lot of foods. As long as my urine is pale yellow then I'm hydrated and all is good.

    ^ Same as above

    Usually around 3 gallons of liquid in my day

    6-8 glasses is enough for me. Otherwise I will be in the bathroom too much. On my days off I drink more.

    ^ This.

    My liquid intake varies from day to day depending upon the weather, how much I was out in it, how much exercise/exertion I had, what I ate, etc. There’s no blanket recommendation that’s valid for every person in every condition.

    When I'm at work I keep a 2 litre bottle at my desk and am happy if I drink most of it.

    At home I hardly ever drink water because I forget to.

    And bear in mind that there is such a thing as too much water. I think as long as your pee is relatively clear (mine can get fluoro yellow when I pee after taking vitamins, but I know it's the vitamins not the actual pee) you should be fine.

    B vitamins do this. It makes it look like you're pissing mountain dew. But yes, this.
