- % All I want to ask here is, I notice that the color of my pee varies with the
- % amount of fluid I drink. I can start the day with dark yellow, drink a gallon
- % of water (well, maybe a quart) and my next pee will be considerably lighter.
- % How does that fit in with the amount of protein/carbs theory?
-
- Well, at the risk of sounding quaint, it's dilution.
-
- for example, look at Kool-Aid. Small amount of water, dark, rich vibrant
- color. lots of water, dull, light color.
-
- the same goes for your urine, especially if you don't drink a whole lot of
- water, or in the morning after a long sleep.
-
- Since you aren't experiencing a net gain in water, but a net gain in uric
- acid and other toxins, your urine is getting more concentrated, and hence
- darker in color. The bottom line: drink plenty of water, especially right
- before going to bed.
