What and how much should I drink while on a diet?

feastr is your everyday companion regarding nutrition. That is why we want to tackle an important topic today: What and how much to drink? Since your feastr nutrition plan is already tailored to your energy intake, we recommend sticking to the basics: Water, unsweetened tea, and black coffee.

If you are used to drinking your coffee beverages with milk, treat yourself once in a while - but make sure not to drink several cups a day and avoid adding sugar or syrups.

Alcohol is a no-go. Besides adding extra calories, it also influences your metabolism negatively.
Avoid juices. They contain lots of calories and fewer vitamins and fiber than fresh fruit.

How much should I drink?

Here's a little rule of thumb, that will help you calculate how much you should drink a day:

Non-workout day: 2/3 cup of water per 10 lbs of body weight. (e.g. 120 lbs = 8 cups of water a day)

Workout day: 1 cup of water per 10 lbs of body weight. (e.g. 120 lbs = 12 cups of water a day)

But don't worry. You don't have to calculate your water intake. We have already done that for you in the dashboard.

Extra Tip

Treat your taste buds by infusing water. Fill a pitcher with water, add a few orange or lemon slices, and leave the pitcher in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. You can also use other fruit and vegetables like apples or cucumbers. Fresh herbs will also add a nice touch and will upgrade your water to a delicious beverage. Just a little heads up. These ingredients will not be included in your shopping list. You will need to buy them separately.
