  • Agree with everything posted above, though curious about the "keto-ish" diet. I'm not a proponent of keto, but the benefits of it are only seen if your body is in ketosis. There isn't a whole lot of room for "-ish" there. So do you mean you're eating low carb? FWIW if low carb works for you, go for it. If low fat works, do…

  • Backpacking is the one time I'll actually look around the center aisles of the grocery store. You'd be surprised at how much on offer can be made by simply boiling water. In terms of protein, go for the meats in a pouch rather than a can - much lighter and easier to open. Some favorites: Breakfast - Instant Oatmeal (Make…

  • Given the unreliability of both intake and expenditure tracking (not necessarily through user error, but rather that it's an imperfect science), it's hard to say 100% on such a micro level. Could be muscle gain, could be fat gain, could be fluid retention - especially given that women are particularly prone to such…

  • They've actually done some research on the accuracy of different trackers compared to more reliable measures. Of the ones they sampled, Vivofit underestimated (~200) while Fitbit overestimated (~200).

  • I'm happy to be a mentor as well. About Me: I've been somewhat active most of my life, but as a kid and through college my diet was pretty awful. I got on MFP many years ago and have shed about35 lbs from my heaviest weight. I'll never claim to be perfect, and don't expect to be, but work every day to be a little bit…

  • Research has shown that the post-gym "window of opportunity" is much greater than previously believed. So the idea of slugging a protein shake immediately after hitting the gym isn't really necessary. https://jissn.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1550-2783-10-5 To the point of the insulin spike, yes spiking the insulin…

  • I'm pretty half with my Garmin Vivofit. It is completely waterproof and syncs with a heart rate monitor chest strap.
