On the food tracker it states you should drink 8 cups of water each day.....does anyone know how many ounces the "glass" tracker is calculating?

    8 fluid ounces is one serving (or one "cup") of water.

    Those throw-away water bottles are therefore 2 servings - so I just make sure I refill to have at least 4 of those a day! :)

    It says 8 cups next to the glass. 1 cup=8 oz.

    Thanks for the replies! I was thinking 8 ounces too, but then I realized I'm only logging half then - lol! :blushing: No wonder I'm visiting potty more often! lol I've had 5 @ 16oz waters today, working on my 7th! lol :laugh:

    I admit, I was doing the SAME THING awhile back!! I just assumed the water bottles you buy would be a single serving, but nope! I was wondering why it was so hard to drink so much water :-P

    Also you should be drinking half your body weight in ounces as well. I don't know how many people really know that.
