Clear and copious is a good rule
If you’re also sweating a lot, drinking something like a Pedialyte sport mix or *half strength* Gatorade etc, are good ways to keep your electrolytes up.
Unless there are medical reasons to use them, don’t use sugar free sports drinks because the sugars are also part of the rehydration.
Urine should not burn coming out, and should have no chronic foul odor; if either condition persists for a couple of days see a doctor, you might have a UTI.
You want to get that fixed *before* you develop a systemic infection and go into septic shock, which isn’t super likely, but more likely than the over hydration mentioned by another redditor

the hydration chart is very funny when sports teams use it.
Anything below a 4 just tastes like water. The color holds all the flavor

Isn’t number one actually a sign of simply peeing a lot of water your body isn’t actually using? (Due to lack of electrolytes/salt)? Genuine question.
I reckon I drink a lot of water and don’t compensate with the corresponding electrolytes, so I’m constantly peeing clear water which wasn’t actually hydrating my body much. I could be wrong.

So are there cups below the chart to piss in or do you piss right on the chart?

Not sure what you are “complaining” about – I have heard of one place that did this but had printed them out on a b&w printer 🙂

So #1 isn’t really that great, either. I see this in the job shacks on site, and it’s usually used to judge it during hot temperatures. If you have #1 and it’s wintertime, there is probably another issue.

Is this also a “height you can piss challenge”?

Where’s “chunky and flammable?”

They should have used a neutral dark background (aka: grey) or put a dark border around the color swatches so that #1 could just be white.

They should add a ‘Scratch and Sniff’ column for greater accuracy.

Honest question, has anyone ever had pee as dark as 7-8? I’ve never had pee that color and if I did, I would be deeply disturbed
ambermage on
I’m confused.
Mine has more of a red tinge to it.
It also has similar sweetness to a diet Coke.

I’m a good 2-3 usually, but should it whistle as it comes out?

When I was in the military they had these hanging in every bathroom

They never say is it the color of the bowl water, or of the stream?

What about vitamins that make your pee yellow?

Conveniently, you can tell the difference between a chardonnay and a sauvignon blanc with this chart too

We have these but the color on the printer was wonky so the bottom one always looks olive green.
Water isn’t going to help you at this point buddy. Your internal organs have liquefied.

Hmm they don’t have one for when it looks like fruit punch? Mine looks like that a lot even when I don’t drink any.

What does green with some red mean? Asking for a friend.

Pretty sure that vitamins and medications can taint urine colors so not convinced this is a good way to run analysis.

I scored “mildly dehydrated”
Is there one for poop? Just asking for my uncle.
