How much water
I haven’t measured, but about 1-2 liters a day (give or take).
Workout: 1-1.5 hrs a day
Walk: 30-3hrs a day
Stretch or yoga: 15-20mins a day
If it’s that time of the month, I don’t workout, I just stretch and walk.
2 liters when active, heavy labor in the sun for hours.
About 2 water bottles when not active.
I find most people drink more water than necessary. The recommended daily water intake includes any water, water in the food itself.
I'm almost embarrassed to say, but I average about a gallon a day. Yes, I'm living up to my start sign... chut up errebody!
Forms of my activity vary but I'm pretty much on my feet all day long. I have successfully annoyed plenty a person with my inability to sit still for more than 10 mins. I do try to get as much walking as possible as often as possible...anywhere between 7-8k steps per walk.
And weights every other day. About 45min to 1h if I'm in a mood for it.
I'm pretty sure water is an ingredient in coke zero. So I drink about 8 to 10 cans of water a day.
Not enough

Walking is really good for you! If you work out on top of that *and* you do yoga you're doing a lot of physical activity which is really really good. Just make sure you're drinking enough water to stay hydrated (I dunno if 1-2L is enough for you; I'm not a health professional by any means and just made this thread out of curiosity and boredom).

Do you know if there's a way to measure water amounts in foods lol

Same, I drink a gallon per day too! Just have to make sure to get enough sodium so that water doesn't flush vital nutrients out of your body too. That's definitely something I have to work on because growing up I didn't have much salt in my diet lol so I tend not to consume a lot of salt unless I consciously add it on or eat saltier foods (like beef jerky for example I guess).
Like soul only except i slam a few Pepsi zero's and beer has water in it too so if we calculate how much of that stuff I drink per day it should add up to around a few gallons. This is why everytime I step on my scale my water intake is incredibly low. Though I haven't stepped on any of my scales in a very long time. I'm trying to up my water intake but it seem I only drink water only when I'm thirsty for it but I have been drinking a lot of water as of late just don't know exactly how much in terms of liters, pints, gallons etc

Yeah all it takes is to measure your water for food in a measuring cup. For instance let's say you making a big pot of spaghetti. You would measure around let's say about 10 cups of water (about 80 ounces of water) then that's the amount of water you'll consume in that particular food. The FDA requires everybody to drink about 70 to 72 ounces of water per day for healthy adults and try not exceed pass that. Even though food has water in them you still need to drink pure water everyday. Now imagine if I was to drink as much water as I do sodas and beer? I'll let you decide how that's gonna play out in the end.

Make sure it's iodinized salt! We, particularly here is the US, consume nowhere near enough iodide through our diet. As far as general salt consumption goes, I'm the opposite. It's like, I'll have some food with that salt. 🤦♀️

No lol. I just guess. obviously things like soup have a lot of water but also foods like salads with a lot of vegetables have more water than like a steak.

Your concern is entirely understandable, but if you have healthy kidneys & consume enough water, you really shouldn't be experiencing much if any water retention. And if so, it should be only temporary. I think salt has been unfairly villainized. Even concerns for those with high blood preassure are addressing only superficial issues & removing salt is nothing more but a temporary solution. But I digress.
I get it thoguh. I think many of us femmes have been down that path of unhealthy relationship with a scale. Best thing I could have done for my sanity is to relegate weighing to a secondary position & instead focus on how I feel & how my clothes fit. I think once we set health as a primary objective, perception shifts & things tend to just naturally fall into place.

I agree. The only reason I'm hyper focused on the scale right now is because I'm reverse dieting so I'm trying to figure out what my maintenance macros are lol. But once I get those numbers I'm not really gonna care about the scale anymore as long as I stay on track with my macros for whatever I'm doing! And people do need a certain amount of sodium in their diet just for good health... I think I get my fear of it from my mom because she was always super careful about how much salt she put in the food she made for my family growing up. Have to figure out how to get over that.

Ahhh got ya! It's tricky, if not hard work, to rewire old habits/beliefs. My pops used to always say... to acquire a habit it is one trouble; to rid yourself of it, it is two (troubles). LoL. Do you think attempting to associate salt with something positive/beneficial might aid in that journey? Best of luck on your journey! It's all part of self-discovery really 🙌👍💫

I dunno really. For now I just try to incorporate small increases of salt to each meal than what I'd normally put. I'm terrified of going overboard lol. I'm about to start working with a CPT on my training and nutrition which includes improving my relationship with food. 🙂
I prefer my water filtered through a distillery.

Do y'all drink per day? And how active are you?
During the summer over 2 litres when i say summer like heat wave .. it makes me need the loo a lot which is annoying but i only drink when im thirsty so i obviously feel like i must need it.
In winter less.
I always have two blisters of dehydrated water in my car, and a small one in my fanny pack. Very active, contrary to what one may believe

I really appreciated this thread, actually! I hadn’t really thought about it… but this thread made me pay more attention and I actually got more information from my water intake habits.
So I found that:
- I drink much more water when it gets warmer. It’s usually 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit in my city. If it’s at mid 70’s I’m almost doubling the amount.
- I don’t count the amount of water, but mostly go by desire and also the color of my urine. It should be almost clear.
-I forgot to count maybe an extra liter to the original quantity because I also drink a lot of water when:
- Taking vitamins twice a day
- Drinking a glass of warm water with lemon before breakfast.
- With lunch and dinner… I also drink a lot of sparkling water. I forgot to include that as water 🤪.
But, yeah… I loved your thread topic 😊🫶.
thank you for reminding me to drink more water.
