I don't really drink coffee on a regular basis, but I've been in training for work this week and have therefore needed a little something to help me stay awake :) Do you normally count your coffee in your daily fluid intake?

Thanks for your responses!

 Anything fluid or liquid counts towards your numbers for the day!

 Anything with caffeine should NOT be counted towards your goal, in fact for every ounce of caffeine beverage that you drink you should replace it with at least that amount in water (or other fluids).

 I was told anything with caffiene dehydrates you so it doesn't count as fluids and you have to make sure you get your 64oz.. fluids in on top of it.

Here's my NUT's rule:

If you drink one cup of coffee, you have to drink two extra cups of water to compensate because the caffeine is a diuretic.
Do not ask God to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move your feet.

I think coffee is fine, but as a general practice, it should not replace your minimum 64 oz of fluids.

Thanks for your responses!  I'll just use the coffee for the pick me up and still stay on my water :)
