How to Use the Water Intake on Creatine Calculator
- Enter your body weight in kilograms (kg). If you use pounds, convert by dividing by 2.2 (e.g., 154 lbs ÷ 2.2 = 70 kg).
- Select your activity level from the dropdown:
- Sedentary – little or no exercise
- Moderate – exercise 3–5 days/week
- Active – exercise 6–7 days/week
- Very Active – intense daily exercise
- Click “Calculate Water Intake” to see your result.
What you get: Your recommended daily water intake in milliliters (ml). The calculator uses a base of 35 ml per kg of body weight, then multiplies by an activity factor (1.0 to 1.6).
Tip: For reference, 1 liter = 1000 ml. Aim to drink this amount spread throughout the day, especially while taking creatine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Creatine pulls water into your muscles, increasing your body's water needs. Adequate hydration helps maximize creatine's performance benefits and reduces risk of dehydration.
The calculator uses a base of 35 ml per kg of body weight, then multiplies by an activity factor ranging from 1.0 (sedentary) to 1.6 (very active) to account for additional water loss through sweat.
While rare, overhydration (hyponatremia) is possible. Stick to the recommended range and listen to your body. Consult a healthcare professional if you have kidney issues or other conditions.
