  • I use numerous programs Map my ride(run/fitness) keeps a lifetime total that you can access.
  • You should probably look to changing the macro nutrient intake... Like change your percentage of protein higher, it takes your body more than 20% of the calories taken in in protein to process them vs. only 5% to process carbs/fat. Additionally, eating more vegetables will help keep some of the calories from being…
  • Insanity was great...just did first day of aylum and it's even crazier... good luck and have fun..Insanity was great!
  • I can tell you from comparing with a a Heart rate monitor that MFP definitely does estimate high..
  • I don't believe timing matters as long as you don't eat too close to the workout and can't get a good workout because you are full and get a cramp...
  • I have looked at the blendtec and it is about 100 less than vitamixer. I use the Ninja and have had great results, so not sure why it's not working for you. A friend of mine has the bullet but says my ninja works better..
  • I do both P90X and Insanity in hotel rooms without any problem..Sometimes I have to move a desk or chairs to make the space work but I can do them without any problems..Good luck they work..
  • I read in fitness bodybuilding magazine a recommendation for 40/30/30 protein/carbs/fat.. I went to that and have lost body fat and gained muscle weight.. hard to get all the protein in without taking a protein supplement.
  • You can use the number here, but I find it overestimates what I actually burn. I did without for quite a while but now that I have a HRM I can see how much of a difference there is. HRM definitely worth it!
  • I used this while doing Insanity and got great results. I lost over 24 lbs and about 4 inches from my waist. Don't get discouraged, watch what you eat and do the program, stay the course, it will work! Good Luck!
  • I would set your profile to maintain weight or even add .5 lbs to get your weight to the point where you want. Things I have read talk about in body buidling magazines have a 40% protein 30%fat/carbs. That's what I have done and I have actually gained a couple pounds of muscle and body fat continues to decrease.
  • I check nutrients throughout the day. If I see I'm low on calcium, I'll either try eat more or take a supplement. I do take daily vitamins so I'm really never low on the main vitamins. I just need to watch calcium, potassium and iron...
  • I have seen people who way they want to try to lose weight and then complain about not losing. When you look at their calories they are either over on calories or they are over in carbs and or fat. They are eating things like cheese whiz or anther fattening things. They don't have a workout plan and the workout calories…
  • I came to this site almost a year ago, at my heaviest weight ever. I have gotten down to the best shape of my life and met lots of great people also working on their weight and condition. Good luck and have fun, you can do it!
  • While I agree in part with some of the other responses there is going to be some better ratios that will help with weight loss and muscle building than others. I totally agree that the time of day isn't much a factor with the exception of studies showing that eating a good breakfast does somehow work to help losing weight.…

  • Hi, The bad news is the belly fat is the last thing for many to go. the best advice I can say is slow and steady, don't get frustrated it will go away. I have fought that my whole life and after months of continual exercise and eating right, not just quick dieting that won't work, I am getting there., I lost 25 pounds and…
  • I use both protein powders and shakeology. The shakeology can be used on its own. I have never tried the green one but the chocolate tastes good to me, I usually blend it with just water and ice. While it sounds like a lot of money to purchase, if you are are using it as a meal replacement it breaks down to about $3…
  • I stopped weighing myself daily, even not weekly. I went through a period when I began in June and had same issues as you. I then waited a month, I just stayed on my exercise plan and within my calories and when I did weigh myself I had lost weight. Now almost 6 months later and down 24 lbs. Don't worry so much about the…
  • I ride with pearl Izumi Select Gel FF Glove. They're nice.
  • I don't know what they run in your town but Gold's Gym was running a $1.00 per day special in my town.
  • I found that in order to reach the daily recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals recommended was hard for me to reach without taking supplements. Iron, vitamin B, calcium and vitamin d are all good for energy and general well being. You can see how your doing each day by looking at your MFP food log. Some vitamins are…
  • I have been taking a glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM supplement to prevent knee issues. I used to have so problems years ago. I started running and cycling in May and haven't had any problems at all. I definitely think they work.
  • feel free to look at mine
  • There are many, however the season is pretty much over til new year. They are actually listed as sprint triathlons in these distances. You can search for them on active.com and many other sport websites.
  • I have done 4 this summer, very addicting...I love them! Good luck!
  • Be careful with any detox. I would talk to a professional nutritionist or doctor before I did any of those. They can be dangerous. Good Luck!
  • Baked potatoes are a good source for potassium which are bodies need for energy. As long as you are balancing your carbs, fat and protein there is nothing wrong with eating them
