Or, how many calories can your body store as glucose in muscle (glycogen in liver) before converting and storing the remainder to fat? Or is it dependent on how much the muscles have been depleted of…

I've been working hard to kick that habit and switched to pretzels. My only concern is that I'll nibble (literally on Synders…

WOW! The wonders of a food scale!
Until today I was not the proud owner of a food scale and I would try to "eyeball" how much I was eating and guesstimate what I was eating. I found out today that I've been ripping myself off! 4 ounces of meat is a lot more than I thought! I was probably only giving myself 2 to 3 ounces... and counting it as 4.…
