Drinking water is crucial for good health, but keeping track of how much you drink can be difficult during the course of a busy day. The Fluid Intake Tracker, or FIT Clip is a great little attachment that helps you keep track. Now you can know how much water you have consumed and how much more you need. Not sure how much water you need to drink every day? Use my hydration calculator.

Fluid Intake Tracker

The FIT Clip and a plastic one-serving water bottle are all you need to keep track of how much water you drink every day. The FIT Clip slips right onto a 12 or 16 ounce water bottle very nicely, and stays put. You don't need to worry about it falling off. Slide the little counter on the FIT Clip up to the top notch first thing in the morning. Move the counter down one notch for each bottle of water you finish. By the end of the day, you'll know if you have had enough water or if you need a bit more.

My Recommendation

Like everyone else, I'm busy and I tend to get distracted by lots of other things during a typical day. Sometimes I forget to drink enough water, then I pay for it the next day by feeling tired and suffering from headaches and muscle aches.

I like to keep a bottle handy so I can fill it up as I go during the day. The FIT Clip helps me know how much I had and reminds me to keep drinking.

The FIT Clip is very easy to use and durable. It's a great health accessory.

Hydration is Important! - We need to be Reminded, Member Jetskili08

I think this is one of the coolest products I have come across in a long time. I always have to remind myself to drink enough water, but it's not just enough to remind yourself . . . it's the whole keeping track and remembering what number you are on for the day. I am not one to drink a big bottle of water or jug. It just seems too intimidating to look at all day, and besides that I hate warm water. I like cool. This FIT Clip is the best because I buy water buy the case. What I do is bring at least 4-5 bottles of water with me to work. Now, I just attach the FIT Clip on my standard water bottle, which stays cool enough for me to drink. When I'm done, I take the clip off and put it on the second bottle. All I have to do is move the notch down to the number of bottles I have drank for the day, so I know how much I have drank. No more guess work! Now I know how much I drink by just a switch of the bottle and click of the notch. This helps me to stay properly hydrated. See this cool video on their Blog. http://fitclip.wordpress.com
