Do all liquids I swallow count towards hydration?

    Caffeine dehydrates you so you should not count that. In fact you may need to drink more water to compensate

    This is incorrect. Caffeinated beverages hydrate just as well as water.

    Not only almost all liquids but many foods count, too, because it also contains water. Fruits and vegetables, especially, contain lots of water.

    ::snickers:: Why... yes.. yes.. they do :wink:

    Not true; Snickers have no liquid, unless they fall in the bottom of your golf bag, and go all over your grips. Wait, what?!?

    But if there is water in it that counts....

    according to another thread.

    Dr I. P. Freely recommends not wasting time and effort counting drinks and just use this....

    I really doesn't matter as long as you do not leave yourself feeling thirsty and your pee is a pale straw colour the vast majority of the time

    Of course it needs to get in your mouth first and then you need to swallow or it's just a big mess. But given the discussion, I now agree, they should count.

    I am going to correct myself. I did some research and it appears my info was outdated and caffeine only dehydrates if you drink it in excess.

    Just for the record I corrected myself. No need to quote me and tell me I'm wrong.

    This was meant in good humor (in case you couldn't tell) please no one think I am crying at my computer.:sad:

    This is ridiculous. No one ever learns anything and/or admits when they are wrong on MFP. I'm not buying it. What kind of evil are you weaving, woman?

    wow. i am surprised at the responses. i was only tracking water and while i logged the other things i drank i did not put them in the water section. I didn't think it would count. pretty cool to know :)

    The ability to correct oneself based on new info and a sense of humor?

    You'll do well here.

    IDK. Should I deduct a cup of water if I throw up the same amount?
