Isn't that what I said? The amount is dependent on the person. The idea behind it (getting people to drink water) is laudable.

Well if you aren't going to trust a lot of nutritionists, I have this sneaking suspicion that you probably aren't going to trust some random people from the internet either. To each his/her own. Personally, I eat when I'm hungry and don't when I'm not. I don't have as rigid a schedule for when I can eat as some people do, though.
