Would a cup of tea (caffeine free) count as drinking water? I thinking about drinking a cup in the evening instead of having dessert or a snack.

    hmm...I don't know, it is mainly water but then the caffeine and milk

    Personally I count it in my head but not in my food diary


    just realised you said caffeine free...some do some don't (I still wouldn't ...personally)

    There's only one real question...at the end of the day, what color is your pee?

    This; I drink about 2-3 cups a day currently (down from about 7-8!). It does all count, as does the water in fruit, veggies, soups, etc. But I only count my 2 litres a day as water I've had from a glass or bottle.

    I'd say as long as its caffeine free - something like an herbal tea - it would count as water.

    I count herbal tea as "water." If it has caffeine in it or calories, I do not.

    I believe caffeine-free tea does count as water.

    Last time I checked all that was in tea was, let's see, WATER and some flavoring, so Yes - tea is water. If you add honey, milk, sugar, etc be sure to log those calories. :drinker:
