First off I tried searching for it but I didn't find anything relating to this.
How much water should someone of my type try to get daily? (240 pounds, 6'2")
Also, the color of your urine. Should it be clear, yellow, or in between? I thought it was clear and that would mean that you are hydrated; but my idiot roomate who thinks he knows what he is talking about says the normally is yellow and if it is clear then its bad.
Thanks in advance

You need to be drinking AT LEAST a gallon of water a day. You want your piss to be clear. If its really yellow your dehydrated and if its like a neon yellow you have a Vitamin B6 or 12 I believe surplus. It should def not be yellow though if it is start choking down the water.

3 gallons.... now thats excesive.... i would stick with 1... there is such a thing as water intoxication, and i would also worry about electrolyte imbalances cosuming 3 gallons because i can only assume that you woud be drinking very large amounts at a time, and doubtfull that your consuming eletctrolytes with it to counteract the bolus of water.

I do in between 2-3 gallons a day...I'm 268lbs.
BUT 1-2 is bare-assed minimum

i just drink when im thirsty. i try to drink more than my actuall thirst tho. i dont think keeping track of what you drink really matters as long as your pee is clear. sometimes tho vitamins or creatine with keep it yellow or neon too. just drink when youre thirsty and then a bit more. but i herd the new science is saying too much water is actually really bad for you too haha. it goes back and forth way to often.
Yes... but i also remember him saying he uses supplemental pottasium and sodium.... and i was refering to consuming large amounts at one time, not throughout the day... i was only assuming that you would drink alot at one time unless you have alot of free time.

I drink about 2 gallons throughout the day & about 2 litres whilst lifting, I normally have 2 sessions per day so that works out about right for me
