Eat more, lose more???
Okay, so recently I posted about the nasty break up my scale and I had. I have decided to try to work on our relationship and give it one more chance next Tuesday.

So...I have another question...
I want to make this parmesan chicken recipe for dinner tonight. None of the ingrediants are really that bad except for the 1 stick (1/2 cup melted) butter (810 calories) and the 1 cup of bread crumbs (460 calories). Any suggestions for substitutions? I have some "I can't believe it's not butter light" at home but honestly…

Strength training and burned calories
Hi, can anyone tell me why calories burned don't show up under activities for strength training like they do for cardio?
