La fórmula, paso a paso

  1. WaterDailyGoal usa 33 ml/kg para estimar bebidas. Los escenarios de 30–40 ml/kg y los ajustes por actividad y clima son supuestos del sitio, no necesidades personales validadas ni fórmulas NAM/EFSA.
  2. kg × 0.033 L; +0 / +0.3 / +0.6 / +1.0 L; ×0.95 / ×1.0 / ×1.10.
  3. El embarazo, la lactancia y los medicamentos GLP-1 no cambian automáticamente esta estimación. Las referencias poblacionales de agua total incluyen alimentos; no son dosis mínimas de bebida. Sigue la orientación clínica individual.

El resultado es una meta diaria para beber. La comida suele aportar una parte adicional de agua, pero mantenemos el titular centrado en lo que realmente bebes.
