I track all my macros perfectly but was completely ignoring water intake

I track macros religiously in cronometer to hit protein targets on plant based diet but somehow never thought to track actual water and just assumed I was drinking enough

I decided to track it for a few days with waterminder just to see and i was only hitting like 1.5L daily which is way less than you need especially training regularly

Ive been at 3L+ for about 3 weeks and recovery is noticeably better, less sore after lifting and more energy throughout the day

Kinda embarrassing i was so focused on protein and completely ignored one of the most basic things but at least figured it out and now I added new 2026 goal: drink more water lol

Anyone else hyper-focused on macros but forget about hydration or just me
