How does the water tracker work?

You can manually add a glass via the app or website by tapping/clicking the water icon and selecting the plus button. Eight 250ml glasses of water (or 2 litres) a day is the target.

What counts?

All liquids count towards your fluid intake with the exception of alcoholic drinks. Ideally try to drink more water, or herbal teas. If flavouring water with fruit squashes, check the calorie content as some of the 'hi juice' varieties are high in calories.

If you really don't like water, cups of tea and coffee count as well, but bear in mind they do have also have a diuretic effect and are therefore not as hydrating as plain water. (And don't forget to count the extras like milk and sugar in your food diary!)

Think of the benefits! Water is good for your skin, aids digestion and can suppress the feeling of hunger – which is sometimes caused by needing fluids.
