Hi all

As you know most green tea's are calorie-less (if that's even a word lol) or less that 5kcals. So my question is do you count this as part of your daily water intake or would you list it as for example breakfast?

I personally list mine as depending on what meal I have it with usually breakfast.

Just wondering what others take is on this??

Thanks in advance.

    I don't log water, nor coffee and tea and diet soda's either for that matter. But if I did, I don't see problem logging any of it as being part of my water intake, since all they really are is dirty water.

    I also do not log water, but do drink 90+ oz of "plain" water each day. I also drink 1-2 cups of green tea. If I did log, I would log the tea. It's 99.99999999% water. If you put lemon in your water, you would still log it as water. You're just dipping a bag of tea in it, so it's still just water with something in it.

    Anything made with water can be counted as water. I don't log mine and I think that the zeal with which some people view water intake is a little silly. Drinking a gallon of water each day doesn't help you lose weight any faster than drinking only the amount of water you actually need.

    I don't log in water because I am too lazy, but I always log my tea :smile: I like seeing them on my diary, I don't know why.

    i log water and my tea and coffee, even though it doesn't have that many calories... but it's basically the only thing i drink now... other than a glass of red wine once in a while!

    I don't log fluids that don't have calories. I just stay hydrated.

    Thanks for your responses everyone. I mean I didn't drink as much water as I should have done. But was using MFP mainly as a food diary for my migraines. I mean now I drink at least 4-6 cups of water.

    I also agree it doesn't do much for your diet but at least your hydrated and not shoving crappy stuff into your body like coke!
