How This Water Intake Works
The calculator uses a baseline of 33ml per kg of body weight, adding 500ml for every hour of exercise to account for sweat loss. This provides a starting point that you can adjust based on climate, health conditions, and individual needs.
When Should You Use This Tool
Use this calculator to establish a daily hydration target. Increase intake during hot weather, illness, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Monitor urine color - clear to light yellow indicates adequate hydration.
Is This Tool Accurate and Safe
Water needs vary based on climate, health status, diet, and individual factors. These guidelines work for most healthy adults. Certain conditions like kidney disease may require different recommendations. Consult your doctor if you have specific health concerns. All data stays private.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do other drinks count toward daily water intake?
Yes. Tea, coffee, and water-rich foods contribute to hydration. However, plain water is best. Caffeine has mild diuretic effects but still contributes net fluid. Sugary drinks add calories without nutritional benefit.
How much extra water do pregnant women need?
Pregnant women typically need about 300ml (about 1 cup) more daily. Breastfeeding mothers need approximately 700ml to 1000ml extra to support milk production. Adjust based on how you feel.
Can I drink too much water?
Yes, though rare. Overhydration (hyponatremia) can occur with extreme water intake, especially during prolonged exercise. Drink when thirsty and spread intake throughout the day rather than consuming large amounts at once.
How does hydration affect weight loss?
Adequate hydration supports metabolism and can help with appetite control. Drinking water before meals may reduce calorie intake. Dehydration can be mistaken for hunger. However, water alone does not cause significant weight loss.
