Milk counts as water, right?

The cow had to drink a lot of water to produce the milk, how else is it a liquid? And that explains where powdered milk comes from, it's just milk with the water removed. So if I just drink 8 glasses of milk a day I should be good, right?

    I would think so, yes. It hydrates you. It has more calories than water tho ;)

    Eh I would consider it half water half non water. It's a liquid, yes. But not all of it is water. How much milk do you drink a day?

    Cows milk has a lot of sugar it in. Log it as milk, it has calories, fat, protein, sugar. water doesn't, don't cheat yourself!

    Then you can count it is double the amount of water.

    I count all fluids as water.
    Technically you could also count anything that is liquid at room temp like icecream, jello etc.
    But thats just how I do it. The point is that you hydrate your body with enough fluids.

    Milk is a fluid, and will hydrate you, however it's very high in calories and fat. If you drink 8 glasses a day of full-fat milk that would be a large proportion of your calorie intake; even semi-skimmed milk has about 100 calories per glass. Log it as milk.

    i think so. if you drink your hot chocolate through a timtam and then eat the melted biscuit, it counts towards your water..
