Endomondo with the polar bt hrm. Much more 'accurate' with hrm.

This is one of the many reasons I think MFP needs an 'MFP Verified' food marker. We dint need 16 entries for raw carrots, we need an authoritative one thats right, per gram. Same goes for most foods. Id volunteer to weed the db, we only need a few hundred peeps to make this way more accurate.

just got back from the Herbal Magic place, might as well use there scale and bf tester for the rest of the groupon. 34%. That ties in with the wrist waist hips and forearm method... It says down half a percent, but not quite reliable enough to know if its meaningful. Down 3lbs since they last weighed me, and half a percent…

Ok. I might be able to get this done at work then, at our base gym the PSP staff could probably do the calipers for me as they would probably be trained to. If I am really lucky, they may have one of the better impedance testers, Herbal Magic has one that uses your hands, but doesn't require bare feet... so perhaps its not…

Thanks. It seems to be working for me now, but as I'm reading more, it seems as my bf % drops, the required amount of calories to keep muscle mass from depleting due to energy generation by the body increases drastically. Just working on finding a somewhat more accurate way to get a real measure of bf%, and it seems…

Far too rambling. Sorry. It's my first week on this, and I feel very energetic and kind of strange. Seems to make me more subject to the tangental with thoughts and words, as evidenced above. Base question, in light of the "eating your exercise", are we eating too little then? Thanks for trying to decipher the wall of…

I'd do it too. I haven't fallen off the wagon yet. But its been a short time since I started this new phase in my life. I never actually admitted to myself it was binge eating either before. With all the tracking and such i am doing now, I went and logged a somewhat typical last day representing the before. We're talking…

Yeah 'diet foods' are horrible, especially in the North American context where they just substitute modified horrible corn starches, or some other synthetic food like product for good wholesome natural fats.

Just recalculated here : http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/ and its telling me 32% BF... :(

1200 cals shouldn't be too hard to hit... I guess first question would be do you eat meat? Sensible portions of healthy meat should help out. Healthy fats would too. Add avocado, some olive oil, stuff like that. Nuts, and other items in that strata might too, just maybe watch the salt... Some people will start to retain a…

BF% could be maybe 25-28%, in retrospect my wifes couldve been 30%...but def in that range. Thanks again.

Bump. Question: My wife and I, about a week ago today actually, had bought a groupon for Herbal magic. Somehow... because of a groupon, it triggered us changing everything. Like bag of Jube Jubes and Gumdrops a night to a Vitamix on the counter, religiously tracking everything, and leaping into the pool of lifestyle…
