A gallon of water??
One of the most dangerous "fueling tips" youth and teen athletes continually hear is "drink a gallon of water." At some point in life- 128oz might be exactly what your body needs... or even too little. But for many adolescent athletes, 128oz is far greater than 1/2 their bodyweight (how we determine minimum hydration needs).
A quick, easy way to monitor your hydration level throughout the day wherever you are? Check the color of your pee! We're aiming for a pale yellow (some medications can change urine color, let's chat if that's a concern for you)- darker? Have a small glass of water. Lighter or clear? Time for a small salty snack (a few pretzels, salted cashews, salted edamame...).
