Christmas Gift Dilemma
I do a LOT of chopping when I make meals. As a joke, I often say that my cooking consists primarily of figuring out how many different combinations that mushrooms, onions, garlic, broccoli, and peppers can be prepared. A mainstay of my diet is what was referred to on Seinfeld as "The Big Salad". For me, texture and color…

Heart Rate & Blood Pressure Meds
I am on Tekturna and Benicar for High Blood Pressure. I read somewhere that some blood pressure meds will lower your heart rate which would also require lower exercise heart rate. I have been trying to maintain a HR of 130 while exercising mainly because that is what my Polar HRM tells me to do. Is there any reason to…

Calorie Question
I hope this is clearer then mud. LOL Believe it or not, counting calories is the only "diet" I've never tried!!!! Per MFP, my nutrtion goal is to eat 1200 calories a day. When I add my exercise into my diary (for example it was 500 calories), my net calories change and tell me that I need to eat more. Do I really need to…

Can someone please explains calories?!
Hello everyone! I am having somewhat of a difficult time grasping how FitnessPal records net calories in lieu of adding in additional calories “earned” through exercise.

Poll on Salt
On MFP I track my calories, fat, protein, fiber, and sodium. I always try to keep my sodium levels low even though it does not really effect my weight gain or loss much (i have found). The thing is I sometimes use regular table salt with my foods, so should I even bother tracking sodium since I'm probably taking in more…

Moving SUPER slow
Ok. I'll admit it.. I took a break for the holidays. I haven't worked out in 4 days and haven't watched my calories. Honestly, I didn't think I had done THAT badly, no major pig outs.

sauna vs. steam room??
My gym has access to both the sauna and a steam room. I love them both, but I don't know when I should use which, and if I can use them on the same day. I know there are many benefits to both, and it has already contributed to clearer skin, but will one be more beneficial than the other? Any personal experiences?
