If you mix the protein powder with water do you count that cup of water as part of your 8 glasses of water?

Honestly, I count any non-caffeinated liquid as part of my water intake. If I do take caffeine (and I do) I drink that amount of extra water to keep my intake balanced.

Don't know that there's a cut-and-dried right or wrong answer. But, just to be sure (and to help me feel full) I only coun****er. Of course, I only drink water that I've mixed with Crystal Light. Don't much care for just plain water.

I don't often mix water with protein unless it is for chicken soup. Milk has carbs and I can tolerate it so most of the time I use milk. Otherwise all my water is either plain or flavored.

Way back when I was a newbie, I remember this question being asked a lot on the main board, & I'm sure the answer was Yes, the water counts t/w our daily total.

Always,
