  • I accept. Totally doable. The mapmyride app links to myfitnesspal and tracks outside riding which is limited based on our mid-west weather. But my exercise bike can track mileage equivalent. I suppose I better not count my elliptical which has pedal motion but it's actually more like just fast walking. I could sure use…

  • Yes, it can be the absolute worst time of day. What I do is spread food throughout day evenly so I don't spike insulin. That helps me to not feel like I have to eat a big dinner. In turn, that leaves me room for a snack and, yes, it's right before bed. My "go to" is 6 saltines and 18 grams of peanut butter. 3 benefits of…

  • Hello. Here from Calorie Count, after several years, because they are shutting down after tomorrow. Also, I wanted to sync this with Map My Ride which I have been using for years also. So far I'm getting along with this app. It seems harder to me to keep my favorite foods in order. They don't seem to alphabetize. Also, I…
