    Dr. Ronald Tamler of The Mount Sinai Medical Center answered:

    The average urine output for adults is about 1.5 liters (6.3 cups) a day. You lose close to an additional liter (about four cups) of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Water drinkers average 75 to 90 fewer calories at each meal, which greatly aids in weight loss and weight control.
