I dont limit carbs.. they are energy

This sounds good.. simple and easy.. I got some from the bin machines at Market Street, dont know if it needs rinsed or not.. if I dont have a strainer I am sure I can figure something out.

Quinoa This mighty grain packs 8 g of protein per cup, including a complete set of branched chain amino acids—leucine, isoleucine, and valine—that play a crucial role in helping muscles grow. With each cup you’ll also get 39 g of carbohydrates—not always a bad thing. The body’s number one need is energy, which carbs…

Extra Fiber will cause that.

Depends on the exercise, if you are doing something heavy like running or spinning etc you need to eat both.. if you dont eat before you will be drained and not have energy to finish. Then you need to eat afterwards to refuel your body. If you are doing something light like a walk, you could probably get by without eating…

In moderation just like everything else

The funny thing is Organic fruits and veggies still contain pesticides.. and they taste the same.

Yes Fake

I tested it on my last workout.. the categories are really general, I picked Calisthenics / exercise - moderate (for the eliptical/arc trainer since it was pretty much cardio) Their estimation Total Calories Burned 448 my HRM registered - 628

You will find webpages such as MFP and other online sites are using general formulas to try to be accurate over a large population.. what you will find is they arent accurate.. because how do you know later in the day you are tired and dont push as hard, your heart rate doesnt get as high and you acutally burn less…

OMG I MUST HAVE BACON THIS VERY SECOND!

I would look at your average HR and compare it to your friends and see if your HR is getting as high as theirs

The V02 max calc needs to be set because its what the unit uses to factor in calorie burn.

he should be probably closer to about 1800ish.

Should have decked her :laugh:

DFW AREA!

I get weird readings if the strap is too tight or too loose. Also make sure you wet the straps too.. After a while we have just bought another strap I guess they could wear out.

Wow great job!

Highest I have seen is in the 600 range.

I have strong toes

Its life, enjoy yourself, eat whatever in moderation..

Its a myth, it doesnt matter when you eat, your body doesnt know any different for a calorie at 11am as 11pm.

I use natural PB, the kind you get grinded in the machines at the store.. it does have fat, but its a healthy fat and there is no added stuff to it, just Peanuts

I am curious as well, from what I have seen it just tracks all the calories you burn in a day.

I love my Ft7

I use cookbooks and try new recipes.. and we plan our our meals and snacks and buy what we need

Get Center Cut Bacon, its lower in fat and is better

Schools make it by with limited budgets to prepare what they can.

I have a Polar FT7 and its great, would recommend it.

It takes your current weight (last logged) then it takes how many calorie deficit you had today and figures ok if you were 800 this day then at 3500 cals a lb over 5 weeks you would be at xxxxx cal deficit or X amount of pounds lost, then it subtracts it from your current logged number. Its just an estimate and not likely…
