I read in MMI that I need to drink 15 glasses of water a day, I drink green tea and two cups of coffee plain (no sugar or cream) a day. does that count toward my goal of drinking 15 glasses of water a day.

Yes - at least a good percentage of it - it is liquid. To completely disregard it is nonsense. The logic that if you drink 3 cups of coffee you have to drink 3 cups of liquid is faulty.

While caffeine is purtportedly a diuretic, the longer you've been consuming it, the less of an effect it has.
