Here’s a daily water intake and urination chart for a healthy 67 kg, 5'5" Muslim male living in Bangladesh’s hot/humid climate, considering physical and spiritual activities (like ablution, fasting, prayer):

Mid-morning | 300–400 ml | Stay hydrated before lunch |
After Lunch | 400–500 ml | Avoid drinking too much immediately during meal |

🚽 Expected Urination Chart
Time | Frequency | Color (Healthy) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Morning | 1 time | Pale yellow | After waking |
Mid-morning | 1 time | Pale yellow | Indicates good hydration |
Afternoon | 1–2 times | Pale yellow | Frequency may rise in hot weather |
Evening | 1–2 times | Pale yellow | Healthy frequency |
Night (before bed) | 1 time | Pale yellow | Optional, not too much to avoid disturbing sleep |
Midnight | 0–1 time | Light yellow | May occur occasionally, avoid over-drinking at night |
🔍 Notes:
-
During summer, increase water slightly (~3.2L/day).
-
During Ramadan, adjust intake to non-fasting hours.
-
Urine should be light yellow; dark = dehydration, clear = overhydration.
-
Include fluids from fruits (like watermelon), soup, etc.
A Healthy And Balanced Pattern
Intake:
-
Water every 2–3 hours: 250–400 ml
Output:
-
Urination every 3–4 hours: 150–300 ml per void
This suggests:
-
Good hydration
-
Normal bladder function
-
No signs of overactive bladder
There's no concern if you're staying in this range without urgency or discomfort.
To Avoid Frequent Urination, Follow This
Here's a simple hydration schedule (4×500 ml) to reduce frequent urination while staying well-hydrated:
💧 Water Intake & 🕓 Urination Timing
-
6:30 AM (500 ml) → 8:00–8:30 AM
-
10:30 AM (500 ml) → 12:00–12:30 PM
-
2:30 PM (500 ml) → 4:00–4:30 PM
-
6:30 PM (500 ml) → 8:00–8:30 PM
Notes:
-
These times may vary slightly based on your activity, metabolism, and bladder sensitivity.
-
Try to delay urination slightly if the urge comes too early (to train your bladder).
For better digestion and reduced bloating, follow this
✅ Ideal Water Timing:
- Before meals: Yes — 20–30 minutes before (helps
digestion and controls appetite).
- During meals: Small sips only if needed (don’t drink
large amounts).
- After meals: Wait 30–60 minutes before drinking
larger amounts.
Why:
- Drinking too much during meals can dilute
stomach acid, slowing digestion.
- Drinking before helps prepare the
digestive system.
So, best is before
and after meals, not much during.
