Units for MFP nutrient tracking? Especially calcium?
Trying to track my calcium intake for medical reasons (physician-supervised cleanse). I've noticed that MFP advises 100 "units" of calcium. When I set my food profile to track calcium, it shows a "g" (as in grams) below the calcium column. However, that makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER. Daily recommended intake of calcium for me…

What are some good exercises for middle delts?
I know that lat raises are usually recommended for middle delts, but my shoulders are kinda wrecked, so i can't really do them.
