Does Emergen-C in water count as H20 in the water counter?

So I have a question I'm hoping you guys can help with. I like to drink Emergen-C once a day, which is a powdered vitamin supplement I pour in a glass of heated water and drink as a tea. It's 25 calories so I've been marking it under snacks. My question is, since I'm pouring it in a glass of water, should I count that as water as well, or should I only use the water counter for plain glasses of water? What do you guys recommend? Thanks!

    I too love my EmergenC! I work in a germ factory and my colds have dramatically reduced. I count the water part as water. Especially since you can put it in as much or as little water as you want. You can also put it into other fluids (juice, tea, etc)

    i don't even see the point of tracking your water unless you really want to make sure you're getting enough, even then it seems kind of silly. so i guess my answer is no.

    Thanks for your responses.
    I like to track water because it forces me to drink more. I always thought I was a big water drinker until I started keeping track. I find I drink far less than I had imagined. (Though to be fair, I count every glass I drink as 1 cup, and I'm pretty sure there is more than a cup of water in each of those glasses.)

    I'm not big on juice - I don't like the taste of anything sweet. Pretty much the only liquids I drink are black coffee, water (often with a wedge of lemon squeezed in), and sometimes wine or beer. Obviously I don't count the coffee or alcohol as water though. Lol.
