What are your thoughts on using the water packets for flavor.

    Water is still water. People count tea and coffee as water (not me personally, but I've heard of others doing it on MFP)

    If you like them, use them; if you don't like them, don't use them. There's nothing harmful about them, they're zero calories and you're still getting the hydration benefits of drinking the water whether it's flavored or not.

    Whatever helps you stay well hydrated is fine in my books. If you need a touch of flavoring, go for it

    Thanks guys...I personally count my coffee as part of my meal. Cutting out soda is huge for me and I just need some flavor in water

    I often add unsweetened cranberry juice to my water, makes a nice change from plain old water sometimes.

    I do not count my coffee and tea as water.

    I use the packets daily. I usually stick with plain water throughout the day, but at night I will mix in a little flavor. I get that you need some flavor in your liquid. Since it's now the weekend, maybe I'll try a little Whiskey in my water?
