    I am going to modify this slightly bc gallon isn't enuff. Change to 2 sided/half a day on one and other half another/ to accommodate a refill at 3pm.

    In the UK we don't have gallon bottles. So it means having 2litre bottles everywhere.

    Actually... I guess we can buy 5litre bottles. But I'm fairly sure I'd look like a knob with on of those on my desk.

    Staying hydrated is very important. That being said, IMO there is no need to drink so much water that you're pissing all day long lol. But then again the BB paradigm requires at least 1 gal per day for most ppl. Personally I probably drink no more than 1 gal a day.

    Your kidneys will get trained to hold more for a longer period of time. But yes. Don't wander too far from the loo. LoL

    There are water hydration calculators. For me, 100 - 110 is about right altho there much variation in calculator results and the inputs. Climate, altitude, weight, workout.

    Generally ppl do not drink enough water! So even if i leave some in the bottom, it's a good day for me!

    a gallon every day?

    so 4 and a half litres each day, mmmm id say i get about 2.5 - 3 litres at the min.

    what is the benefit of the gallon or is it just a target to get lots of water in ya?

    Plus the more water you drink, the more you expel(great for ones who hold more water) ... So if your drinking 2+ GL a day - it'd be wise to put some electrolytes back into your body(w/all the stops along the way

    Noon. It has been great tool. I took mine to work and several ppl checked it out. I left my jug at work and hit the gym taking in other 48 ounces and another 16 before bed. Done.

    I like this. I am a visual person. Keeps me on track.

    I'm sure you'd be fine... Plus salt is an electrolyte, it's in everything, if going w/Gatorade then get the one w/out sugar(like G2 I think)

    I eat oats, egg whites, whole eggs, chicken and vegetables every day... I don't think any of that has much salt in it and I don't add any... Should I start? And sugar free Gatorade is a good idea too

    That's what you eat. Plain. No seasonings or flavouring of any kind.

    G2 is low sugar. Powerade Zero is sugar free. I personally just use regular gatorade.

    If you sweat a lot then for sure you need to replenish electrolytes. Plenty of electrolyte drinks out there....gatorade works well.
