when doing my diary logging, there's an option to add cups of water, how many litres (or part of) is a cup of water? i usually drink from a 1.5litre bottle of water, if i drink half of it i know i've drunk about 750ml, but how many cups does that equate to?

1 liter is 33.8 ounces, and 8oz = 1 cup, if that helps.0

1 cup is 236ml so 6 cups for 1.5l, 3 for 750ml.0

I've always been told not to stick to the 8 cups a day rule because that's so ambiguous. My track coach always asked that we at least drink half as many ounces of water as we weighed.
So I weigh 148 currently. I would half that: 74. Drink that many ounces, at least, daily and you'll be fine.
A 200 lb person should drink at least 100 ounces of water.0 -
great stuff, thanks for your help, at least i know what to enter now x0

A cup is a unit of measure...how is 8 cups ambiguous?0 -
1 cup = 250 mL (at least according to my measuring cups!)0

Probably because a US gallon is 19/23rds of a real one.0 -
If your urine is a light straw color, almost clear, then you're properly hydrated. If not, keep drinking. I go through nearly 1 gallon/day.

I have never heard this before. But it totally makes sense.0 -
Y'know, I'd not really thought about this. I've been drinking 8 glasses (16oz/glass) of water. O_o Oopsies on double water! Oh well, it appears to be working! =D0
