Water tracking question

Hey guys,

A bit new to this so just wondered how you all track your water intake?

I drink majority of my water from mineral water so I've been adding the Aqua Pura 500ml bottle to my food sections when I do as it then tracks the sodium etc.

Should I then also increase my "cups" of water (2 cups for 500ml bottle right?) as well or am I double counting my water intake? Should I just do one or the other or both?

Thanks!

Ben

    If you add it to your food, the only thing that will be tracked will be the small amount of sodium. Therefore, you should add the 2 cups to the water section.

    Tracking water doesn't change anything though, so it's entirely up to you whether you do it or not. I never track my water with MFP. I never saw the point.
