The tool applies its displayed weight-based baseline and adds the selected activity adjustment.
If the selected baseline is 35 mL/kg, a 70 kg adult starts at about 2.45 litres before activity adjustments.
The result is a planning estimate and includes no clinical assessment of fluid balance.
Needs vary with climate, diet, pregnancy, illness, medicines, kidney or heart conditions and exercise. Excess water can also be harmful. Follow professional advice when fluid intake is medically restricted.
