I thought one of the selling points are air fryers was the draining away of the fat. Am I missing anything? Allan Misner NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Host of the 40+ Fitness Podcast

What I typically do is try to make a main course that we can both eat (and this might mean I get a smaller portion). I can then make a few different sides, some for them and some for me. This overlap makes food prep easier. Another strategy is to prepare a batch of meals on the weekend and refrigerate/freeze portions that…

I would check it out with an orthopedist (a GP won't have specific training to diagnose issues with the joints). Beyond a physical thing (weight typically isn't the cause of the pain, but an injury may be), I'd make sure you're drinking plenty of water and work some collagen into your diet (bone broth or supplements). But…

I'm not a fan of alli either. Your fat loss is going to have a lot more to do with what you eat, your stress level and your sleep than it will with working out. Get the other three in check and the exercise effort will show. I always tell my clients, exercise is for a fitness modality (strength, mass, endurance, speed,…

If it is true bloating, it will eventually pass. However, I do have to ask, how is your sodium and potassium intake? Are there any other changes that might be causing bloating (milk products, time of the month, etc.)? It might seem counter-intuitive, buy you may need to drink more water to flush out.

Four things I'd recommend: 1) Are you getting adequate protein and carbs after a hard workout? Tweak these. 2) Make sure you're getting plenty of water. 3) Keep active during your off time, moving all of your muscles slowly through the full range of motion to keep blood flow. 4) Creatine helps me recover faster, but it…

Walking works, plus realize your body is all the weight you need to do significant strength training (bodyweight squats, lunges, wall or counter push ups (or knee push ups if you're strong enough). A set of resistance bands or adjustable dumbbells can go a long way toward variety. A good workout can be done in a matter of…

I think the olympic distance is 50M. That said, calorie burn is an estimate. If what MFP gives doesn't work for you (trial and error), then tweak it to your needs. Allan Misner NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Host of the 40+ Fitness Podcast

Resistance training does burn some calories, but not many. The assumption built into MFP is that you're not doing resistance training to burn calories (but rather to build strength/gain muscle). The key is to know that all calorie burns are just estimates. Try what MFP gives you (zero) for while and if you're not…
