How to use this calculator
- Enter body weight in kilograms.
- Enter average daily water intake.
- Add workout days and extra water per workout day.
- Calculate to compare actual intake with estimated need.
Compare your actual weekly water intake with an exercise-adjusted estimate based on body weight and training days.
The result estimates whether your weekly intake is below, near, or above a body-weight-based hydration target.
Hydration needs vary with climate, sweat rate, sodium intake, and health conditions.
For 70kg, 2L/day, 4 workout days, and 0.5L extra, estimated need is 19.15L and actual intake is 14L.
A simple estimate is body weight in kg multiplied by 35ml and seven days.
Yes. Exercise increases fluid loss, especially with sweating.
Divide actual weekly intake by estimated weekly need and multiply by 100.
Excessive intake can be risky, especially if electrolytes are not balanced.
Your intake may be below your body-weight-based or workout-adjusted need.
