Pee color and water intake

[Aribay1 198]

So I've been super strick the past few days with Water I got 100oz yesterday. And was curious. As the day went on I noticed my pee go from dark as hell yellow to clear yesterday. Today I woke up and my pee is dark as hell. Is that normal or should I try to drink more at night?

I know weird but I'm curious!

Perfectly normal. Once you start drinking again it will go clear again.

Most medical folks will tell you that clear urine is the sign of too much hydration -- what you should be aiming for is the color of pale straw. But check with your own doctor to be sure. And yes, darker urine in the morning is normal, it's just because it built up overnight.

Yeah my pee has like a yellow tint. but later in the night it's super clear. But good no know!

P.S. does any of your pee smell? When I haven't drunk Water in awhile my pee smells as if I went poo but I didn't lol. Just me?

I agree with bufflehead. As far as the smell, You are super sensitive to smell right now. I had a rough time with smells. It was all off. It is normal now but man it was tough. i couldnt even stand the smell of my Shampoo cause it smelled like mildew to me. Your pee smells the same as it always has it is just that you are experiancing a high sensitivity.

One thing to keep in mind is that if you're taking your Vitamin B, that's going to turn your pee *very* yellow at times. Also, if you're still doing Protein shakes and getting most of your calories there, your kidneys are going to be a bit stressed, which can make your pee darker, too (and smell funky).
