My Green Tea Intake

lilRicki

Can I include my huge mug of pure green tea as a water intake?

hey, to be honest - I've been including green tea as water intake... I love green tea with mango at the mo! mmm

I drink very light tea without sweetener. Sometimes I will add a crystal light type of power to it too. I do consider that part of my water. I also drink plenty of water, so usually, it wouldn't make a difference anyways....
A doctor once told a friend of mine that even soda is 80%+ water....???
I would think that the bad in soda probably weighs out the "water" part of it.... ;-)

I include mine as water as long as I'm not adding anything like a sweetener to it!

i admit i put a scooch of honey in it...but i'm telling ya, i have like 3 cups of green tea in there...EVERYDAY! i'm going to add it to my water intake...because i'm running to the bathroom constantly it should count

I heard doc Oz say that you should add a glass of water for every glass of tea you drink! I think that has to do with the caffeine content dehydrating your body, even if it's green tea. Just a thought

green tea has no caffiene so I would say yes you can add it as your water intake. when I make tea I add about 2 tablespoons of agave nectar to the entire pitcher. 120 calories to about 6 or 8 servings size- trace amount in my opinion!

Yeah i make sure the green tea is caffeine free...plus my water bottle holds three cups, so yesterday was the first day i made 8 cups of water woot woot!
