Two major brand chocolate chip cookies: 160 calories, give or take. Is it that difficult to fit that amount into your daily allowance?

Richard Blood. He went by D!ck. My mother had a classmate named Patricia (Patty) Bottum.

I get them roughly once a month, more if I am not adequately caffeinated or if I sugar-binge. I take 2 ketoprofen at onset, and another 1 roughly 90 minutes in, in order to limit the duration to 3 hours rather than 3 days.

There are also options in the database to exercise carrying different loads; I know there's one "Walking - carrying 25 - 50lb load," because I use it. If you choose to call it hiking, there shouldn't be a major issue with that, either.

http://www.snopes.com/medical/myths/8glasses.asp "Eight glasses of water" was a descriptive, not prescriptive, study done back in the 1940's examining how much hydration real humans were actually getting, and included the liquid content of foods and all beverages. There's no reason to force yourself to drink water - or any…

Caffeine is somewhat addictive, to me, between the energy boost and the withdrawal headaches. That said, anyone trying to 'cure me' of my addiction had better be prepared to defend themselves. It's not detrimental to your 'water intake needs,' more than one study has shown it to have health benefits as part of a decent…

Agree with these responses, though I'll clarify that I think everything you drink, along with the liquids in your foods, counts toward your water goal, which itself is a relatively arbitrary number from and old, descriptive study of how much hydration real people were getting.

Peaberry coffee, or a quad Americano. When I wake up, my caffeine stream has way too much blood.

Green in fat and protein is generally a warning sign, as most around here will tell you the MFP macro targets for those should be treated as minimums. This is especially true on a 1200 diet, MFP's minimum. Unless you've specific medical circumstances, that means you probably under-ate those macros relative to your body's…

"Common sense" is a curiously nebulous concept, when one gets right down to it. Can you explain how whey protein is "common sense" but a Lean Cuisine - conveniently labeled to allow a consumer to make it fit with macro-nutrient goals - is not?

I'd love to know how you collected the data to conclude this is true of "most men."

All of the items you listed were processed, or genetically modified through agriculture and animal husbandry over the years.

You could always google "Exercise Calorie Calculator," plug your numbers into several different sites, and take an average.

The first link appears to be one promoting a specific whole-food diet; there's nothing wrong with a whole-food diet, but it's almost certainly not the only valid approach to eating with an eye on healthy weight maintenance. The second link is. . . Oprah, who has a history of jumping on the bandwagon of this, that or the…

Bourbon chicken meatballs and broccolini.

I have a cat. He pretty much shares any bed he pleases.

Please link to any of these multiple sources regarding these many benefits. Good luck on your journey.

BMR is Basal Metabolic Rate, which is the amount of calories your body would need to survive if you were in a coma or otherwise completely inactive. Barring specific medical advice and supervision to the contrary, you should NEVER eat under your BMR for any length of time. If your BMR is 1699 (I didn't run that math; there…

"Life is a hell of a thing to happen to a person." That's the excuse for the men, that's the excuse for the women. Are you willing to accept excuses for either gender? If so, why? If not, why not?

Honey roasted cashews are "serving size: 1 container" as far as I am concerned.

Nothing wrong with eating a doughnut or having a sugary coffee drink while maintaining a caloric deficit. Depriving yourself of particular foods only for as long as you're losing weight does not sound like a realistic way to maintain the losses you worked to get.

I am aware. Thank you for summarizing for those who were unable or unwilling to read the abstract.
