Most people think metabolism is just about calories or body fat. But here’s a cool physiological fact: You don’t just burn calories. You burn water. When your cells oxidize glucose and fat to produce ATP, they generate carbon dioxide, heat; and metabolic water. At normal temperature and humidity, a person evaporates roughly 1 liter of water for every ~1,000 calories metabolized through respiration and skin evaporation. That means water turnover reflects metabolic rate. If you drink 3 liters of f
