As others have said be careful about "cheap" whey. Often times the nutritional profile is not that good for cheaper wheys. Once you find a few flavors you like just keep an eye out for sales and load up a bunch, most whey lasts at least 12 months at a time. I do shakes with my whey (with skim milk) so keep that in mind for…

I just ran into the same problem trying to track bacon the other day. From what I read from browsing around, if you fry and drain the fat, it is about half the calories/fat as if you ate it raw (so 2 slices fried/drained is about the same as 1 slice raw). Apparently if you microwave and blot the fat with a paper towel it…

Under cardio you can put in an entry for strength training. Mine tracks at 97 calories burnt every 25 minutes (my average weight training session length). You can check my diary for an example.
