Yeah, I have to say it is a pain and the USDA's measurements are based on how Americans actually measure them. And yeah, a lot of times we measure solids as if they are a liquid (ex. sugar or flour) because it's well, just easier. I'm not saying it's right. And yeah, I agree the conversions SHOULD be in here if MFP is…

The other alternative is google. Type 1 oz in either ml or g and it'll convert. But yeah, the USDA is the primary source for basic ingredients because well, MFP is a USA based company and most users are Americans. Most of what's left are Canadians and British, and they are at least familiar with Imperial units.

Scale and measuring cups are two completely different measurements. One is volume, one is weight. Now for solid items, a measuring cup is not good. Just like for liquids weight is not the best way to go. But for things like cheerios, you're going to get the same answer either way (or at least within expected statistical…

Oh bite the bullet! Just take your time the first few times doing it.

How I learned to do it was I found a whole bunch of songs that run in the neighborhood of 180 beats per minute. Then I go running and focus on taking a step with each beat. Your stride length will change. It will feel weird, almost like you're stumbling because now you won't be landing on your heel, you'll be landing…

Actually, DFAC food is not bad. Yes they do have crap, just you have to pay attention. You also have to reject the assumption that processed food automatically means less healthy. It takes a while, but learning how to read labels, and estimate portion size and you can eat really healthy there (Just don't look at your…

If you are looking for healthy fats, generally you want unsaturated fats (polyunsaturated or monounsaturated). Avocados and nuts are examples of foods high in them. Salmon is also good as far as meats go with it. Olive and canola oils are best as far as cooking oils go. Some saturated fat is needed in your diet but try to…

@one no, the so called "American" unites are standard English units. Just the United States is the only country who still uses it. The unit system is called "SI" or "Standard Imperial" or "English" for short because it was the standard unit of measurement used by the British Empire. Most the industrialized world changed…

Yup what seska said. While used internationally, the site is based in the US and most users of it are American. So the site defaults to standard English units. A cup is a measure of volume. Google does a great job translating though, and if you look at the drop-down for blueberries, you'll see 1 cup of blueberries in…

Yes it is possible to gain weight and still improve your run, but you're also right that gaining weight is counter productive to running faster. It comes down to every pound you put on whether it's muscle or fat is one more pound you have to move while running. It's the same reason why you put a backpack on, you're not…

First I apologize if I come across as a little too blunt, that's not my intent. I have it myself and am taking synthroid every morning. But really if you take your medication every day on an empty stomach and your blood tests say your thyroid is normal with the medication you are taking, then there is no problem. In other…

You know what? I have been trying to get back on the wagon. I would like to sign up. Maybe this will help!

Mostly German, English, and Scottish....with a bit of Dutch, Swedish, and Spanish way back in there. You know us Americans are so easy to point out because we equate nationality to ethnicity hahaha.

This is something I actually DON'T recommend. The entire premise behind running barefoot being better for you than running in good running shoes goes to a tribe of Native Americans in Mexico that run as part of their culture. They run all the time barefoot and have minimal reports of injuries. HOWEVER, the science shows…

I gave up giving up stuff for Lent this year. That way I can be religious AND blow it off at the same time!
