I mixed10 ounces of water with BA protein powder to make a morning shake and have also consumed about 50 ounces of water today. So have I had 60 ounces of water or 50 ounces?

I don't use water in my shakes, but I can count any liquid that is non-caffeinated and low or no calories (milk, powerade zero, broth)

According to my nutritionist you had 60 oz of fluid. I use milk in my shakes but still count them as fluid since they are caffiene free and not carbonated.

my NUT said I was allowed to count the liquids in my shakes as part of the 64 ounces i'm supposed to get every day.

60.

You count all your drinks and also things like popsicles or jello.

no but I do count the milk! Protein shakes made with water taste like ass! Like Kelly I count popsicles and jello. I have been known to eat and entire batch of SF jello in one day.

But with an avergae intake of 200oz a day in fluids my main source is SPorts Drinks.

I hate protein shakes!!! However, I just found a fantastic way to meet our protein needs. Walmart sells a protein shot with no sugar or carbs (I think no carbs?). Don't know if it comes in other flavors, but I purchased the fruit punch which packs 27g of protein in less than 3oz. I finished it off in two small swigs. Didn't taste bad whatsoever. Definitely will be my go-to protein replacement from now on.
