Water Intake Calculator: Personalized Daily Hydration Guide
Use our scientifically validated water intake calculator to determine your recommended daily water intake based on weight (kg/lbs), activity level, and health factors like pregnancy or kidney disease. Learn why water intake per day matters, whether coffee/tea counts, and how to avoid excessive water intake.
How Much Water Should You Drink Daily?
While daily water intake in oz averages 91 oz for women and 125 oz for men (NIH), individual needs vary. Those with high water intake jobs or using creatine supplements often require more.
Does Coffee/Tea Count Toward Your Water Intake? (Science-Backed Answers)
Does coffee count as water intake? While caffeine has mild diuretic effects, the Mayo Clinic states coffee contributes to total daily fluid intake.
Water Intake Recommendations by Age, Weight & Pregnancy
Pregnancy water intake: The American Pregnancy Association recommends 80-100 oz daily to support amniotic fluid and maternal blood volume.
Stage 3 kidney disease water intake: Consult nephrologists, as fluid restrictions (often <1.5L/day) may apply to reduce kidney strain.
