When it recommends 8 cups of water a day, is an 8 oz cup, or 12 oz glass, or 16 oz glass of water.

    I believe it is an 8 oz cup, for a total of 64 oz a day.

    Not sure I just drink 8 large glasses a day !! I feel better for it so its not too bad. If I drink tea or coffee etc I have to run to the ladies room. But water is what my body craves :)

    I think drink lots of water and see how it makes you feel

    A cup is eight ounces, or about 236ml.

    8 8oz cups per day is the MFP recommendation. But really, depending on where you live, that isn't enough. In really hot climates (I live in West Texas), it's recommended that you consume much more than that. My rule of thumb is 2/3 an ounce per pound of body weight, plus more if I'm even a tiny bit thirsty. I usually end up drinking nearly a gallon of water a day.
