    Do you count these for daily water intake?

    Hey guys... I was just wondering if you count some of this stuff towards your daily water intake:

    Crystal Light....
    Water In Protein Shakes...
    Water In Jello....


    I usually don't count any of that in my water intake count.... but if I did I am sure I would be over 2 1/2 gallons a day. I usually drink 1.5-2 gallosn of pure water.

    I would say that the water found in all those other stuff is negligible and shouldnt count.

    Water is water..your body doesn't know it was mixed anything, and after it is absorbed it makes no difference.
