If you're having a hard time breaking the habit, try air-popped popcorn or a low-cal popcorn like Boom Chicka Pop.

I don't know how accurate it is, but I use a Withings scale, which supposedly measures fat mass and lean mass. I've been working with a trainer for over a year now and have developed some pretty nice muscle tone, problem is, I have a bit of fat covering it up that I'd like to lose. The Withings scale has actually helped me…
