Daily Water Intake Calculator for Men

Daily Water Intake Calculator for Men

Here’s a table for recommended daily water intake for men, organized by age group and activity level. The values are based on general health guidelines from sources like the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The table reflects total daily fluid intake, which includes all beverages and foods with water content.

Age GroupSedentary (L/day)Moderate Activity (L/day)High Activity (L/day)
Children (9-13 years)1.51.82.0
Teens (14-18 years)2.52.73.0
Adults (19-30 years)3.03.54.0
Adults (31-50 years)3.03.44.0
Adults (51-70 years)2.93.33.8
Older Adults (71+ years)2.83.23.6

Notes:

  1. Sedentary: Minimal physical activity, usually less than 30 minutes of light exercise per day.
  2. Moderate Activity: Regular daily activity or exercise, approximately 30–60 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise.
  3. High Activity: Intense daily physical activity, typically 60 minutes or more of high-intensity exercise.

Key Considerations:

  • Climate and Temperature: Hot or humid weather increases water needs, so add 0.5-1L for warm climates.
  • Health Conditions: Illnesses, especially those causing fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, require increased fluid intake.
  • Dietary Factors: High-protein or high-sodium diets can increase water needs.
  • Body Weight: Larger individuals may require more water due to higher metabolic needs.
