    I count water and tea. But I log everything other than water, including coffee and tea and the agave syrup I add.

    I count Green tea and water. Caffeinated tea i do not count though. Anything else I do not count as water.

    And the gym I always count the 8-10 cups I drink there.

    Green tea does contain caffeine! Personally I only count my water. I don't drink any sodas period, teas and things like that I just make mental note of as being extra on top of my goal for the day.

    Caffeine is a diuretic. If your drinking lots of it you're in incurring a "water deficit" so to speak. The boost you get from it is nice... no free lunch though.
    Caffeine is not a diuretic.

    Just a quick search..."Recent research shows that this is not true and that caffeine only has a diuretic effect if you consume large amounts of it — more than 500 to 600 milligrams (or 4 to 7 cups of coffee) a day. "

    huh, i always thought it did not.. I asked my buddy to translate the box and he says it does, but it looks to be a lot less then coffee. I guess i will only count part of it as my water now. Thanks
