Record your fluid intake from beverages (all liquid consumption) for a two-day period.  State the dates you chose and list each fluid separately (e.g., 24 oz water, 12 oz diet soda, 16 oz 1% milk, etc.).  Total each category and all fluids and average the total amount. (20pts)

Example:   

2-Day Period  (ex. April 1-2nd)

• Water -              Day 1 – 20oz;  Day 2 – 30oz;   Total = 50oz
• Regular Coke – Day 1 – 12oz;  Day 2 – 10oz;   Total = 22oz
• Coffee -             Day 1 – 10oz;  Day 2 – 8oz;     Total = 18oz

Averages  

• Water -              20oz + 30oz = 50oz/2 days > 25oz per day
• Regular Coke – 12oz + 10oz = 22oz/2 days > 11oz per day
• Coffee -             10oz + 8oz = 18oz/2days    > 9oz per day

Fluid totals 

• Day 1 – 42oz fluid;  Day 2 – 48oz   >   90oz fluid over 2 days
