Chicken is a good way to raise potassium and protein without adding any carbs.

Weight loss will happen as long as your calories are in line. If they come from fat, protein or carbs really doesn't matter. The numbers for fat carbs and protein (macros) are there as guidelines to make sure your diet isn't too unbalanced. Use it as a rule of thumb only. You'll see a lot of people (myself included) that…

If you are playing with your diet too much and start having things like nervous system issues or heart flutters / palpatations that can be an indication of potassium and / or magnesium being too low... If you have no symptoms, nothing really to worry about. Potassium is in almost everything. Also - many people can't take…

Ya gotta learn to cook for youeself in reasonable healthy ways... even frozen veggies and a grilled chicken or fish will work wonders and is easy to fix... BUT you can eat out on a regular basis and still be healthy.. Search the thread around here, there are lists of foods people suggest for eating out / eating fast…

Picking a hand gun is a very personal choice... You need to go to a range that rents them and try a few different ones out. If it's just a work item and nothing your going to really get into a Glock or my preference a Springfield XDM are both good weapons. Accurate, good capacity, and very easy to clean and service. Some…

That is a common side effect for many people when eating artificial sweetners. It doenst happen to everyone, but it is one of the theories that suggests that drinking diet sodas (or MIO type add-ins) might actually cause weight gain due to it changing your cravings. If you're aware of it, and manage it I think they can…

Yes, the most accurate calorie counts will be with a HRM, but the estimates are still a good starting point... probably a little better than the entries you get out of MFP by default. I also have a Polar HRM that uses bluetooth to integrate with Endomondo. It overlays the HR on top of your speed and trip graphs and works…

If you have a smart phone, there are great apps out there that will track your speed, pace, distance and calorie burn;.. My favorite is Endomondo. Alt, you can use a cheap (or expensive) trip computer which uses a small magnet and sensor on your wheel to track yoru speed / distance. Very simple ones can be as cheap as $15…

Your calorie goal does -not- take into account your exercise. MFP just puts it in there so it can track and let you know if you've made your goal for the week. If you exercise 400 cals one day, on that day your calorie goal should be ~1730 and you're supposed to eat back the extra calories on that day. Thats the way MFP is…

What time frame is involved? years I assume? A man at 25 compared to 40 might be a bit different regardless of your looks. Also, how has his fitness level changed during the same time period? -- Sorry just saw your age on your profile, if he's near your same age I guess my first point isn't too valid... Maybe something…

On #3 (pizza)... I pick a slice from a known chain and then change the portion to reflect the slice I'm looking at.. I.e. if a normal medium slice of meat / cheese pizza at my favorite place is 360, but the place Im at is serving a much smaller portion, I put the chain's value in there but change the portion size to .8 or…

A few of my favorites that haven't been listed so far... No More Rhymes Now I Mean It! He's been mostly dead all day Now, if we only had a holocaust cloak! (What exactly is a holocaust cloak anyway?!) Think it'll work? Sorry, yes I've watched this movie too many times....

Low carb yogurt, or Greek yogurt are also good with the power... Only about 60 cals a cup and with 4-5 ice cubes make the shake feel a lot like an ice cream shake... Very satisfying and very filling.
-
It tastes very good, and doesn't taste 'off'... exactly like real peanut butter... Texture / usage is another story.... It works great in protein shakes and the like... even better than real PB, but with much less fat... I tried sprinkling on sliced apples and it only works in -very- light doses... Not a fan of trying to…

I asked about the tootsie rolls at the front desk... Their explination was that they cater to a lot of overweight customers, many of which are diabetic. They keep the tootsie rolls there as a way to assist ppl that need a quick sugar spike... Don't know how legit that was, but thats the answer given...

Generally speaking, you want to keep you cadence (pace) reasonably high and only shift gears when your pace drops too much or if your pedaling so easily that you could move to a higher gear and still keep a strong, fast pace. Calorie burn will depend on terrain, your weight, wind, and your speed. MFP has categories for…

My wife and I just joined PF.... Got the $20 membership for her, and we go together with me as her free guest. (This was not only allowed, it was encouraged by the staff). The atmosphere is 'judgement free' only in that they intentionally don't make it a great place for meat-heads to work out at... That being said, you can…

Not a Dr., but I did stay at a Holiday Inn.... Had a buddy at work that suffered from fierce migraines, and never got much relief from meds. He convinced the Dr. to prescribe medical oxygen for him.. When he feels a migraine setting in he breaths off of the tank for 20 - 30 minutes and the migraine never sets in fully...…

Im pretty sure other than marketing, Diet Coke is a nutrasweet based product (Although there are now splenda versions) while Zero has always been splenda. They do tast different as well. Zero is a stronger bite and is much closer to the taste of Coke without all the sugary sticky taste in your mouth afterwards. As far as…

My favorite easy protein shake... Body Fortress chocolate (cheap and smooth when mixed) + 1 cup of low carb Krogers/Frys yogurt, your flavor choice. Strawberry and vanilla both taste great. blend with a little ice. 200 total calories, 8 carbs, 4 fat, 34 protein. This is breakfast at least a couple days a week.

After a hard workout, especially if it had core muscles involved I can't eat for an hour or two. If you're not uncomfortable, eating something small is still a good idea even if you dont 'feel' hungry.

Everyone loses some muscle when they lose weight. if you start off at 250 and lose 100 lbs, do you think your leg muscles will need to remain the same size? Those things have been lifting a 250lb frame for years and now only need to lift 150... That, along with your body scavenging some muscle for energy when eating in a…
