I am male, weigh 245 pounds, am 6 ft 1, a vegetarian nonsmoker, barely exercise and have had a kidney stone. how much should i be drinking per day?

Urine output: because fluid intake can vary based on one's metabolic needs, the better measurement is the amount of urine one puts out. It is generally believed that if you make kidney stones, a goal of 2 L of urine and day is ideal
