Is MIO okay to add to your water?
I have a hard time drinking 70+ ounces of water daily unless it's flavored. I found Mio - it's zero calories - water flavor additive. Is that okay to add a squirt to all my water bottles (I drink five 20oz bottles daily) -- or does the artificial flavor or anything in it hurt my weight loss?

How to figure out calories burned for exercise for your body size/weight?
How to figure out calories burned for exercise for your body size/weight? Can a fitness tracker do that (per workout - not all day)?
