Cups and Bottles: Easy Ways to Track
Standard metric cups in recipes are 250 ml. A typical drink bottle might be 600 to 750 ml. If you finish two bottles on a workday plus soup at lunch and fruit at morning tea, you may already be near your range without counting obsessively.
Mark a reusable bottle with elastic bands or time lines: one band for mid-morning, another for mid-afternoon. This visual cue works well in open-plan offices across Auckland and Wellington where meetings run back-to-back.
- Measure your favourite mug once; note the ml on a sticky label.
- Decide a realistic target between 6 and 10 mug refills, depending on size.
- Review weekly: energy, urine colour, and dry mouth—not guilt.
