Show steps
  1. Base: weight × 33 = 70 kg × 33 = 2,310 ml.
  2. Exercise: (0 min ÷ 30) × 350 = 0 ml.
  3. Total: 2,310 ml + 0 ml = 2,310 ml = 2.31 L per day.

Frequently asked questions

How is the water intake estimated?

It uses a common guideline of about 33 ml of water per kilogram of body weight, then adds roughly 350 ml for every 30 minutes of exercise: dailyMl = weight × 33 + (minutes ÷ 30) × 350.

Is 33 ml per kg an exact rule?

No. It is a widely used rule of thumb, not a precise medical requirement. Real needs shift with climate, altitude, health, diet, pregnancy and how much you sweat. Treat the result as a starting point.

Does food and other drinks count?

Yes — a good share of daily fluid comes from food, tea, coffee and other drinks. This figure is a total hydration target, so you do not have to drink it all as plain water.
