Hungry or Thirsty??

What's really interesting is that I just realized that many times when I thought I was hungry - I wasn't - I was actually thirsty.. I am learning to listen to my body and hopefully that will…

Converting from weight (ml, tsp etc to grams/lbs)
I'm new to MFP and use a food scale for determining calories so am wondering how to convert liters/cups etc to gram/lb equivalents.

Im sure this is a silly question
So Im not sure how to correctly enter in crunches into my exercise. What is the difference between sets and reps.?
