    Apparently there’s on average 3.5% salt in seawater, so you could probably drink 1 liter 100 ml daily and be fine assuming you supplement it with something “else”. you know what…

      Depends on rest of diet and starting conditions and duration.

      Like if in a highly glycolytic diet/state… severely not advisable to do large doses of salt. But if in ketosis, you’ve a far higher ceiling. 3.5g’s normal. 35g’s likely going too far even when in ketosis.

      You can’t supplement it with your urine, because your urine will be containing the salts you’re trying to get rid of.

      If you had an ample supply of urine from someone who was extremely well hydrated, maybe.

      But yeah no you shouldn’t be drinking seawater at all, it’s just too salty. You’re expending more water of get rid of the salt. Coffee or tea would be fine despite slight diuretic effects, but ocean water is just too salty.
