  • Nvmomketo has got it. I started indoor rowing about 7 years ago, going at it slowly so muscles and tendons could adjust, but still built up to a good amount. I was 50 years old at the time, found it boring but a good way of justifying TV/cable time. I learned to row for real on the water the following year, which is a…
  • An MPH does not convey advanced knowledge of nutrition and does not require at least six years of study and research, usually two years post college. It's quite possible, depending on the program, to have no education in nutrition, depending on your area of focus. It's a broad heading. Think of the title MPH as this: I…
  • 5'1", currently 128 down from 134, which felt awful, belly tight. Goal is 115, with an athletic hobby (rowing) that rewards smaller sizes with equal strength (boat moves faster!). I have a rowing friend who is an inch taller and my goal weight and looks great, with a similar frame (and she's strong!) 120 is my absolute…
  • Pointedly ignoring the food pics . . . I don't get the once a week weight issue- if that one day happens to be high because of water retention, inadequate poopage, men cycling with women, etc, that seems like it would induce more anxiety rather than less. I use Trendweight (syncs with Withings scale but weights can be…
  • Call it the "thungries" - you THink you are hUNGRY! I was in the same boat - completely mowing through the kitchen in the evening even after a decent dinner. Just wanted different tastes - had something savory, then wanted something sweet, then crunchy, then . . . Finally decided that heavy duty grazing was not an option,…
  • Agree with farmboyphotography. I'll bet lots of people struggle with snacking at night, then probably not being truthful to themselves and logging it. I am certainly a night time grazer and got beyond irritated about it, as it undid all my good eating for the day. My recent mantra is eating after 8 pm is INO (It's Not an…
  • Without knowing for sure, 10 calories seems way too low. There's fat in the pigs feet and soup bones that will melt into the soup. Making consommé or clear broth you could skim off some of the fat, but not all. In lentil soup, that's not happening. I've been pescatarian (nothing higher on the food chain than fish) for 5…
  • The problem with tablespoons etc is that it's too easy to be inaccurate - the level measuring spoon becomes rounded, and a standard eating utensil may be grossly different than a true measuring spoon. There's plenty of non metric based choices in the food logs. If you need to use US measurements because metric is…
  • In response to those who don't get this, it might seem wasteful, and yah, not buying it in the first place would have been better, but is a food bank really going to take an opened jar of peanut butter? Are they going to take the rest of the pint of Ben and Jerry's I shouldn't have got? And that far too large restaurant…
  • Try it yourself. Search on the internet for "how many grams in a cup of oats" (and it will matter what kind of oats: rolled, steel cut, etc.) Same for the others except the berries. You've got ounces, so that is easily converted to grams by querying Google etc and you don't need to know the specific food to convert ounces…
