Post Weigh-In Rehydration Ratio
Post weigh-in rehydration ratio uses about 1.5 L fluid per kg lost—with sodium when drops exceed ~1% or urine stays dark.
Post weigh-in rehydration ratio converts body-mass loss into fluid and sodium targets: drink roughly 1. 5 liters of fluid per kilogram lost, with sodium if losses exceeded about one percent or urine stays dark.
Spread over two to four hours with food instead of chugging instantly to reduce GI backlash. The ratio is a field estimate, not medical IV math.
Combine with carbs and protein for recovery meals.
