Turbo Fire--are you in it for the long haul?
This is a question for all the people who started Turbo Fire a few weeks ago. Now that you've had a chance to try it out for a while, do you still like it as much as you did the first couple of days?

I know the food calories on MFP are accurate because I check the labels on the food I eat but I…

question about calories burned
My workout time (i'm a beginner) totals 30 minutes, with a 10 min warm-up and 5 min cool-down (plus stretches). When entering my time for exercise, should I just enter 15 mins for the actual aerobic phase, or the total time of 30 mins. It just seems the amount of calories burned is really high --- does the calculator take…
