Water content of foods and drinking water
Do we have a gut feel for the accuracy of the water content of our foods calculated by Cronometer ie if it says that so far today my water intake is 5 cups would that be plus or minus 1 cup.
I have only recently woken up to the existence of the grey slider bar that indicates water content and the fact that the often discussed "drink 2 litres a day" includes water content of food.
I always found it extremely difficult to drink 2 litres a day and usually managed 1 - 1.5 litres

and then there seems to be some disagreement regarding whether or not we can include tea and coffee in the total water intake

Ok did some googling - seems that nowadays tea and coffee count as water

Anything with water in it counts. I have an 8 glass water jug to see how much water I actually drink from it but never all. I'm not much into drinking a said amount but if I wanted to drink a lot of water I would put it in a coffee mug and heat 40 secs in the microwave, seem much easier to get down your neck.
Remember there's a water shortage haha!

Someone came up with the 8 glasses of water a day but doesn't mean you have to follow that. If you do hot yoga or workout hard to sweating a lot you'll know to drink plus get electrolytes as well. I use to work construction and if I was outside in the sun, well yeh! your gonna need water.
