In detail: Water Intake Calculator for 120kg
A 120kg body needs roughly 4.2 litres of fluid intake per day — but "fluid intake" includes everything: tea, coffee, soft drinks, and the ~20% of your intake that typically comes from food. Plain water is a subset, not the whole target.
At this bodyweight, daily intake is at the higher end of typical recommendations. Spread it across the day rather than front-loading — your kidneys process a finite amount per hour.
Context matters: hot weather, exercise, breastfeeding, or illness can raise the target by 20–50%. The simplest check is urine colour — pale straw is ideal, darker than that suggests you're behind.
