MacrosFirst makes it easy to log and report on your hydration, both from the water you drink and from the water contained in the foods you eat.
You can view your hydration trends over time in our suite of reporting tools, including nutrient reporting, home screen widgets, daily summary, and more.
You can decide whether your hydration total counts only the water you drink or also includes water from foods you eat. This control over what counts as water consumed in your reporting and toward your daily goal is unique to MacrosFirst.
You can log water in your daily journal in one of two ways:
Tap the Water+ nutrient located just below your daily macro donut graphs and enter the amount of water you drank. If you don’t see Water+ in your journal, then here’s how to enable it.
Scroll down to the Water meal, tap the blue + button, and enter the amount you drank.
Each method will log a new water entry in your Water meal located at the bottom of your journal.
You can edit a water entry by tapping on it and adjusting the amount and/or the time it was logged.
To delete a water entry, swipe it to the left.
Core Foods in MacrosFirst contain nutrition data for water and you can control whether your water nutrient reporting only counts the water you drank or also the water contained in the foods you ate.
