  • Banana's are a good recommendation, but they don't have as much potassium as rumors say they do. A food HIGH in potassium are pistachios! Also, tooooo much protein can also cause cramps. Watch your electrolytes as well, and water intake and you should be great. Feel better!!

Since we burn more cals interval training vs the consistent speed method (the way mfp calculates) should I add more time to the counter (like 15…

  • Dark chocolate is a good suggestion. It is very very hard at first to by pass the sweets. MFP made it easier for me because I always input EVERYTHING I eat, and when you put in a sweet WOW those numbers made me not want to eat it. Even a little nibble of something here and there can add up real quick. So if I am making my…

I have been exercising 5-6 days per week on the elliptical at a moderate intensity for 30 minutes (now 40 mins). I have stuck to my daily caloric intake required for my goal weight, and…
