  • I am thinking that you have the weight of the ice cream in the full container and want to know how to translate this to ml to look up the nutrition data in the database. Simply calculate the density of the ice cream. Take the weight and divide by the volume of the container. Then multiply by the number of ml’s that you…

  • Body fat will typically come off in the reverse order to how you gained it. If the belly fay went on first it will come off last, not much you can do about it except lose enough overall body fat that the belly fat comes off. There are no exercises that will remove fat from one specific area of the body but you can do some…
  • Nope, it is a tie, I love that too. When I worked in Iceland for a year, I was in heaven because a typical Icelandic breakfast is pickled herring, tomatos and cucumbers on toast.
  • People might notice but not say anything. You are doing this for your benifit, to look better to you and to feel better yourself. Don't worry about other people validating your progress, as long as you are happy with it that is all that matters.
  • Nutrition labels can be off, legally, by up to 20%. You simply cannot measure your intake to the nearest 100 calories in a day. And if you could that is only 11 grams of body fat, your scale cannot measure that accurately. If you are worried, go an additional 100 calories under some day to make up for it.
  • I weigh myself daily but only look at the seven and 30 day moving averages. (The average of the last 7 or 30 days, next day drop the oldest and recalculate the new average with that day’s numbers. A simple spreadsheet makes it easy to do so.) This eliminates the noise and allows you to see the trend much better. There will…
  • To get an idea of the upper limit of how many calories you can burn in an hour take a look at a world class marathon runner. They will run 42 kms in just over two hours on a pretty level course. At 70 kcal per km, that is a calorie burn rate of just under 1,500 kcal/hr. (A world class sprinter burns about 2,500 kcal per…
  • I look at the body shaming from a slightly different angle. When I graduated high school I was 178 cm tall and weighed 52 kgs. That is a BMI of 16.4. Even when I graduated university I weighed 56 kgs. (BMI 17.7) Let’s just say I did not enjoy high school all that much. It was not until I was late 20's that I started…
  • I am about in the same place you are except a little older (OK a lot older lol). I am just about at the body fat goal I had set. My main method was walking, lots of walking 20 or more km's a day in hilly country. In the past running or swimming had worked until I would pull a muscle or tendon, or the pool would close for…
  • According to Mr. Google, you can get movie popcorn anywhere up to about 20 cups in a tub. If you still have the tub, you can measure it and calculate the volume.
