    I haven't seen a thread on how medication affects the accuracy of the HRM. I'm on beta blockers, which suppress/slow my heart rate.
    When I finish an hour of cardio my HRM says I burned, for example, 150 calories, or about a quarter of what MFP lists for an hour of that particular exercise. I'm not sure either number is "real" as my effort is high, but heart rate relatively low.
    I log the calories the HRM gives because I eat back my calories and don't want to fool myself and consume more than my goal.

    How about "Quinoa--it looks like the stuff that comes out of the corner of your eye...."

    OMG. Quinoa was an acquired taste for me to start with, but that statement might set me back...to not liking it at all.:laugh:

    Sorry....lol. Cook it in low sodium chicken broth with salt and pepper....much better :)
