I'm in a discussion with a fellow myfitnesspal member if her drinking of tea would count for drinking water. I greatly disagree and she thinks that it does.

So, I'm asking the masses on what they think.

    I copied this from someone else's message. Really good answer....



    "I was told in my nutrition class that anything that is carbonated or has caffeine in it cannot be counted as water because it doesnt hydrate the body like water does."

    Herbal, non-caffeinated, without additives of any kind, no sugar, honey, milk or cream...yep, about the same.

    God, I hate tea though.
