i always check. and sometimes, if a restaurant doesnt post their nutrition, then I dont go there! also, to test myself at estimating calories, I will make a guess about how much is in a menu item and then look it up. It can really help you when you are caught off guard or a restaurant doesnt share nutrition info! As…

When I first started, I thought the word "salad" inherently meant "healthy". For anyone who is new to this, PLEASE THINK AGAIN! Unless you are preparing it yourself, you have no idea what kind of damage restaurants can cause to you with a salad, covered in greasy meat, fatty dressing and cheese, croutons etc. If you dont…

sometimes i take a womens daily multivitamin. if i took this every day would that help? or do you mean i should obtain minerals from natural sources?

I have never checked what my diet is comprised of, but i eat so much greek yogurt, eggs, chicken, and tuna that I always felt confident in my protein consumption. I will attempt your 40/40/20 plan!

Whenever I use a machine at the gym that gives a calorie count, it is usually DOUBLE what my HRM says. Same thing goes for what MFP estimates. I was pretty disappointed about this at first....

I always feel like someone (or thing) steps into my body and starts jamming thousands of useless calories down my throat. When its over I am always in…

FT40. i find it very user friendly. i paid $108 for it on amazon. It includes a fitness test which you can take while laying down... just another way to determine your level of fitness!

I hated Zumba at first for the same reason. I now spend the majority of the time in Zumba class hopping around in the back, trying to look as though i know what i am doing. i am really just trying to keep my heart rate up while watching everyone else until I can somewhat imitate the moves. I prefer other aerobic workouts…
