How to read the Water Intake Calculator result

Specific formula

- The exact target should be adapted to thirst, urine colour, climate and medical guidance where relevant.
Example interpretation
Example: a higher body weight or active day usually increases the estimate, while a cool rest day may require less.
Common mistakes
- Treating the result as a strict medical rule.
- Forgetting fluids from food and other drinks.
