Hydration and Nutrition

How to calculate the bare minimum amount of hydration needed:

• Take your weight (lbs) and divide it in half. That number is the amount of ounces you need!
  • Example: 150lb person needs at least 75oz of fluids

Forms of Hydration:

• Water, Milk, Juice (100%s), Coffee, Pedialyte
• Gatorade/Powerade/Sports Drinks: good but have lots of sugar and high fructose corn syrup
  • Pour half into another container and fill the rest with water. Problem solved!
• Post-Workout: Chocolate Milk (here's the evidence: Science of Chocolate Milk)

Tip: drink 12oz of water before bed and right after you wake up. Thank yourself later.
