    water intake?

    i know a gallon is the standard intake amount for a day, but what about a larger person. like say 6' 5" and 300lbs? i now drink over a gallon but need to know what to take in to keep me hydrated.

    your water needs depend on many factors, including your health, how active you are and where you live.

    The average urine output for adults is 1.5 liters a day. You lose close to an additional liter of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace the lost fluids.
