A 200 lb athlete should aim to drink about 100 to 150 ounces (3 to 4.5 liters) of water per day, depending on activity level, climate, and sweat loss. It's important to hydrate before, during, and after exercise, adjusting intake based on how much they sweat and the intensity of their workouts. Listening to thirst and monitoring urine color (pale yellow is ideal) can also help guide proper hydration.
