I think there are about 4-5 calories in a gram of protein regardless of how you ingest it. You will struggle to find something less calories than protein shakes, that range from 70-90% protein.

maybe take a look at the Couch to 5K website http://www.c25k.com/ then get an app for your smartphone, it will tell you to run for 3 mins walk for 90 sec, etc.. slowly building up endurance over 9 weeks.

I just bought a wearlink+ to pair up with my smartphone, unaware that there is actually a specific model with bluetooth, :-( I hope they will swap it over, becuase like most people, I already take my phone with me for music, and I also use endomondo (which should pair with the correct HRM) GPS to track distance and speeds.

Luckily I'm a fairly active guy, who can usually afford to include 6-700 calories from my delicious home made crusts in my normal allowance

Ive taken to trying head to bed earlier ~930-10 ish and trying to read for a couple of hours, instead of watching TV. Theory being active vs passive media, which I think means you concentrate when reading, more than just lazing back on the couch. Also 85% of TV these days is rubbish. Also learns me betterer words n junk.

Didn't mention if your eating back your exercise calories back or not. also diary not open so this is total speculation, but my guess would be your overestimating your exercise. and possibly being a bit generous, that is, low guesstimates of the foods you eat. I believe it is simple mathematics, calories in vs calories…

What ya weigh now?? and how tall are you.?? I dont think I was quite as large looking as you when I started.. and Ive lost over 30 pounds, and I dont look anywhere near as good as you

Another guy who's curious here.. I can imagine being in a class would be quite embarrassing, not knowing the poses n stuff.. so I think im going to try a dvd or 2 before I ever think of going to a class

I eat fruit.. I dont worry about sugar(or fat in other foods), just the calories.. the fibre helps keeps me full

I wouldnt expect anyone in the US to eat kangaroo, the company that sells the majority of it here in aus is http://www.macromeats-gourmetgame.com.au/Recipes.aspx

Cant hurt to just use the lower. If in doubt I generally overestimate my food and underestimate my exercise. Has done me well so far.

would be handy for men also.

I'd assume it would matter in terms of price. And I think there would only be 2 serves in an 8oz bag

I sent an email to Polar asking if any of their watches supported bluetooth mode for use with android phones and they said no. They said I would need to purchase a watch/HRM along with the bluetooth HRM if I wanted to be able to use both.

I also have a couple of questions on these devices.. Ive seen that the wearlink+ is compatible with most (maybe all?) of the watches they also offer [FT80G1, FT80, FT60 G1, FT60, FT40, FT7, FT4, FS3C, FS2C, FT2, FT1, F6, F7, F11, F55, RS400SD, RS400, RS300X SD, RS300X G1, RS300X, RS200, RS100, CS400, CS300, CS200CAD, CS200…

what exactly is the diet drink supposed to replace?

I generally take little notice of the carb/sugar limits and just aim to be under my target, and have averaged 1.5lb/w (which is what i have mfp set at) loss for 5 months So when I have a couple hundred calories left at the end of the day thats usually cue for me to have some peanut butter on toast.

I'd suggest just trying to first keep steady at 1lb a week. then gradually upping it to 1.5 - 2. Once you've been on it a while you will start to find healthier options and learn to stay away from more of the bad ones (hopefully)

I have a cheapish one, has a chest strap, seems fairly accurate, but it doesn't calculate calories, or even give me an average heart rate over a session, so come tax time im getting a polar ft4, ft7

Ive done a session at the gym with a HRM and it was over 80 the whole time (up to 170+ when actually lifting) and according to my calculations (cheap hrm doesnt tell me), 45 minutes of this (at my age/weight) is fairly close to what MFP estimates so im happy with that number. It barely covers the calories from my protein…

^^^ This... scales are great, make a recipe one time, say a stirfry, then next time, just edit the ingredients slightly based on what you have on hand ie. change from chicken to pork.

Man I love these noodles, Only ones available to me are angelhair/ramen style, so I only use them 1-2 times a week in asian dishes/stir frys. Anyone not using these is doing them self a disservice re their weight loss. I just wish I could find more thicker/pasta like substitutes, like penne/fettucini.

try snacking on peanuts.. 50 grams of peanuts is around 300 calories.. also, how was the 922 calories on the treadmill worked out, did you input your height, weight age, and use a heartrate monitor?? If it was just the inbuilt calorie count then it is likely very inflated.
