Shouldn't we be tracking beverages too other than water? Is there an option for this and I'm just missing it?

    Just add whatever beverages you are drinking in with the meals. Or you can create a meal category for beverages.

    Track it the same way you track food. Or if it really bothers you then you can add a beverage category where you change the meal names.

    I add all booze and milky hot drinks from cafes or coffee shops like hot chocolate, cappuccino, flat white, latte.

    I don't log my water and I don't log my tea. Naughty but I'm still losing. I do log my breakfast cuppa but I don't the rest of the day. I don't use sugar and only a splash of milk. Oops.

    I track caloric beverages as food.

    This is what i do, not sure if it's "right", but seems to work for me:

    If it has calories i track it as food so calories are logged. If it's something like juice i'll track the calories but also count it as water since it's till helping to hydrate me.
    If it has a lot of caffeine (black coffee or diet soda) i don't log it because i feel like the diuretic properties cancel out the hydrating effect. I will log any milk/creamer and sugar in the coffee, or a full calorie soda as 'food'.
    If it's a lower caffeine item like tea (which i drink plain) i'll log it as water.
