Generally, high protein diets do require greater fluid intake. What's your daily protein intake?

60g-ish
60 grms a day!?!?!? thats ratther low
Your body needs regualr water throughout the day. Sometimes it is recommended for someone doing regular weights that they drink 4+ litres of water a day, little and often

How much you sweat during the workout will have an effect on how firsty you are. Hope that helped!

26*2 = 52g. You're only getting an additional 8g/day of protein from none-shake sources? You sure about that?
