Does This Count Toward My WATER Intake?

Today I tried something fifferent, to try and cut back on my calorie and sugar intake. I made my protein shake with 3 cups of water and 1 1/2 scoops of protein to equal 30 grams of protein. Now, can I count this protein drink as 24 oz of water toward my daily water intake? I am hoping the answer is yes. Hugs Marianne

Marianne, What I was told was that for a beverage to count as 'water', it has to be calorie free (or extremely low...like Cystal Light) and caffiene free. Since protein shakes have calories, my guess would be no, it doesn't count toward your water intake. Sorry. Sherri
