  • Potato-quality image from one of my hikes this summer in western Norway. There's not much that beats being up in the mountains here on a nice day.

  • Not saying the scales BF% measurement is accurate, but your BF% will actually change depending on how hydrated you are. That's just simple math.

  • Most likely your apple watch is trying to adjust by adding negative calories, but you haven't allowed that in mfp settings so it ends up as zero.

  • If Treks claims are true this is a nice improvement over mips. I'd love to see some independent corroboration though, right now we only have Treks word for it. P.S Helmets do not degrade due to age so I wouldn't worry about that. Get a new one if it gets damaged or if it's a feature/safety upgrade.
