Your activity level is supposed to represent your daily activity level BEFORE EXCERCISE.... basically anything you do in a normal day besides excercise. Hope that clarifies things for you.

whole wheat pita chips with home made taziki dip... always good and pretty low in the bad fats if you make the taziki with low fat yogurt... make it yourself though alot of the ones you buy aren't really that great.

:huh:

freezing food has nothing to do with sodium content. There is plenty of frozen food with high amounts of sodium, next time you're in the freezer section of the grocery store have a look. If you're under the impression that sodium only comes from preservatives, think again. That's why I was curious.

what is the sodium content of one serving?... anyone "too lazy to cook" isn't serious about getting healthy in my opinion. Theres nothing lazy about getting healthy.

Turkey breast sandwich with whole wheat Kaiser and swiss cheese soooo good. I eat one every day at work and I think I would die without them.... love em! and they're good for you.

why dont you stop putting so much pressure on yourself?? You're only 16!! You're just a kid in the big picture and you're still growing. Do you know how much growing can change the way you look? Keep excercising and just worry about being healthy.

you need to start running, your body is used to walking (think about it, we as humans walk almost everywhere). Running will deff make that goal happen in no time! Trust me.

seeing as diet soda is absolutely disgusting IMO and bad for you to boot, can you use regular coke?

Im not very clear though with the cake mix... do you follow the mixing instructions for the cake mix (like milk, eggs, etc...) as well as the soda?? or do you literally leave all other ingredients out, take the dry mix and blend it with the soda alone? Thanks, and sorry:tongue:

this sounds good, wheres the recipe?

Nice! feels good eh! You look good.

everything I buy has sodium in mg... I have NEVER seen anything in grams... if what you're eating has the sodium listed in grams then Im pretty sure youre eating a high sodium diet... unless an item has over 1000mg of sodium there is no point in the company printing the label in grams... catch my drift? Anything with over…

Make time... explain to your DEMANDING wife that you DEMAND her support on this because it's important to you. All you need is a half hour... not even... 20 minutes of running. Work it out.

THAT'S NOT TRUE! What makes you think that?

everytime you think about sweets, punch yourself in the face as hard as you can. Pretty soon you will start to think about other things.

what goes in must come out in one form or another.

well since you've only been a member for a month at most, give it time and Im sure you'll see what Im talking about. I wasn't really the one concerned here, it was just a reply to the main post. I know that weight lifting burns calories because I use a HRM. Even before I bought one though I always argued my point because…

In a few minutes I predict this post will be flooded with people telling you how bad it is to consume water this way. You can over hydrate yourself but Im not going to get into that because I would just be repeating something I read which Im not sure has any merit at all. Yes it would have been better to drink some water…

I've asked the same thing and gotten nowhere. There are people on here that seem to think that lifting weights doesn't burn significant calories which is clearly not the case at all. Now, while I dont use weight lifting to lose weight I deffinately lose calories doing it so I dont understand why they seem to think the…

I know Tuna is one of the worst for mercury... canned or caught. That is all I know. Everyone who eats fish knows that Pickerel (Walleye for you southerners, same fish) is the best eating fish in the world so you should try that, you'll love it. Baked, poached, grilled or... dare I say it... fried... Pickerel is the BOMB!!

Yeah that was horrible for sure and I would deffinately recommend ANYONE to arm themselves this day in age. I live in Canada and unfortunately for the nearsightedness of our government I cannot even apply for a concealed weapons permit. I do however have firearms at my house designed specifically for engaging a human…

If someone came on here and said it couldn't be done would you just not try? Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

not sure what some ppl are talking about. I eat 6 times per day on average and most of these I would consider meals. I guess it depends on what type of food you are eating but I dont ever have to limit myself to just a "snack", only in the afternoon before dinner... that's about the only one that is like a snack.

stop eating crap food. pack your meals. I work 8 hours a day and eat every two hours and I dont buy a thing. If I can do it anyone can.

this site is good for the diet tracker and there are some people on here who are good for advice too. Everyone will try to give you advice but you have to use your discretion as to which people know what they are talking about and which ones are just talking. Before you ask questions check the archives because there is…

in what quantities?

I dont know... sounds gimmicky. I heard running is supposed to burn fat too, anyone else heard this?

whats the hang up with sugar?

run yer *kitten* off!! til you sweat like crazy
