There's an 'import recipe' feature on MFP. You just give it the web page with the recipe, and it sucks it up and calculates the calories. You do have to double check the ingredients though. Sometimes it picks up something weird, like 1000 calories of parsley or something... I've used it with Blue Apron for years..

Body fat percentage is NOT body fat. If you had a certain amount (mass) of fat, and you lost water, your body fat PERCENTAGE would go up, though you may have even lost actual fat. That reading says that your water percentage went down. That just means that your other numbers will go up, 'cause you know, it all has to add…

Another Crossfit lover! Getting callouses from T2B, but improving lol. I hate Burpees......hate

Congrats Ruby on your luck getting a good home! You were/are a cutie!

Wow, I think you win!

Hmmmm...juiced bacon...maybe I'll try it..

WUT

LOL, I was going to say something about your rate of loss (one week?), then I realized it was the European date order. day/month Good job! (seriously, doesn't month/day make more sense you silly Brits?) Don't spam me! Just kidding :)

So that's interesting. My gut tells me it can't be healthy to be 300 lbs, even if you are a football player, but couldn't find any factual evidence to back it up. While I disagree with the methods of "Biggest Loser", I do recall (yes, I watched) that within the first week of intensive exercise, many of the participants…

I just found out myself. How clumsy do you have to be to qualify?

Why do people believe conspiracy theories? There's an element of excitement, of the belief that you know a 'truth' that others do not. Certainly ego is involved. (Conspiracy theorists call others 'sheeple', etc). Convincing someone that they are misguided will strip them of their 'specialness'. Besides anti-vaxxers, the…

I have had guys stand near me at the gym and talk about me. (Hello? I can hear you) Running on the street I have been harassed pretty regularly.

Wiggle your bum and say, "Want some?" It might scare them away....

I’m always baffled when people say this, because don’t you pick how much weight you put on the bar? And I don’t know about any other boxes, but if my coach saw me struggling with form, he’d immediately make me stop, review form, and cut down my reps.

The first two weeks of your cycle, women are estrogen dominant. Estrogen typically suppresses appetite. The second two weeks women are progesterone dominant, which brings on the appetite (and sometimes other emotional factors). At some point during your period you swing from one to the other. So your appetite is likely a…

They are poor! Santa didn't come!

I have one at work which I pedal quite frequently. I don't count the calories though since my heart rate isn't really elevated. It's good for NEAT, but I don't think it's significant enough to count as exercise..

I love it because they introduce lots of moves I would never have tried myself, like the handstand push-up. I was doing a 5x5 lifting program before, and sort of locked in to about 5 basic moves. CrossFit incorporates them all, but now I do pull-ups, toes-to-bar, etc. I feel more like an athlete.

I do both and think they compliment each other nicely.

I'd be interested in running sneaker recommendations. I've stopped running recently to let my foot heal, but am hoping to get back at some point. Thanks @twatson4936, I'll check out the Get Nimbus...

Don't tell Crossfitters. Clean and Jerks are pretty standard. Just spent lunch doing Turkish Getups

WUT, are they not cool?
