That's cool. I wish you the best health whichever diet you choose to follow. Just make sure you're eating the fortified stuff so you get the right amount of calcium, vit D, vit B12 etc. It's not an easy choice and I wish you luck with it!

7. You're saying being vegan makes you look better and fitter? How? A balanced diet does the same. And a vegan diet is not balanced. I don't see many "why you should eat meat" threads, although I don't think they'd be out of place given the "why you should be a vegan" ones... Eat whatever you like but don't suggest that…

Sorry I don't accept your propaganda that is putting other people's health at risk. Sorry I don't read the latest "science" on the benefits of being a vegan. Sorry for seeing all the posts from people trying to be fashionably vegan who are wondering how to get their daily dose if protein and iron without limiting…

Health problems are caused by bad diet, ie processed stuff, too much sugar and so on, not meat, unless you are eating crazy amounts of it. As for animals and ethics and morals, that's an artificial thing we have created. Nature does not have ethics and morals, that's why lions eat gazelles instead of grazing the plains. No…

I used to eat here: http://www.squarepie.co.uk/Healthy%20homepage According to that Chicken, ham and asparagus is 243 cals per 100g and their classic pies are 280g so that is 680 calories... That's about 3 hours of brisk walking for the pie, and another for the pint...

Depends on the size of it but pies are *not* good dude... I would hazard a guess at 600-700 cals. 40g of Chorizo is 200cals... Try looking at pies in the fridge in Tesco etc that are about that size, chicken and whatever will do as long as it has the right kind of pastry. You're looking at a good 200 in the pint.

A religion that requires you to go and recruit others is a cult in my book. You shouldn't even start that conversation with a total stranger, only someone who you have known for some reasonable time. Friends can talk to each other about whatever, but you should not be targeting people you've just met, it's doing your…

I can't speak for anywhere but the UK but we have stronger laws on growth hormones and so on. Mainly in the UK organic milk is saying that the cow has eaten grass in a field that hasn't had an pesticides used on it in x years. I don't know what x is. Although I myself didn't grow up on a farm my aunt 1 mile down the road…

I use a fitbit one and so far I think it was worth the investment. It shows me that on a weekday I burn 2700cals vs the 2500 MFP suggested I did, but on a weekend day I tend to only burn 2400. I override it's calorie suggestion for the time period that I am on my elliptical as I don't believe it can know about resistance…

I've only ever met 1 or 2 ppl in my life who have wanted to "talk to me about god". They were told in no uncertain terms where to shove it. Believe in whatever you want, or don't believe. It's your right. But don't go recruiting as that just puts a crazy sign over your head and you'll deserve what you get in response imho.…

You may want to carefully read your own post with reference to grammar as people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. 3 comma's was never in any English class I took. Is a ridiculous answer = It's a ridiculous answer (as a standalone sentence as you typed it) And the abbreviation is B.S. But back to the original…

I couldn't possibly agree more.

As an aside, I wouldn't want to date a girl who ranked me lower than herself like she was doing me some kind of favour. I also would never want to hear that she had "settled", whether said to me or overheard her saying that to her friends. In fact, I don't think I'd want to date someone who rates people. Period.

Personally I notice women do exactly the same thing. Having said that, to the OP, what number would you put on yourself if you were being honest, and what number rating guys have you gone for and do you go for? If you were being honest. Regardless of what ppl say about only caring what's inside it's a fact of life that its…

Also you may be losing fat in your workouts and building up muscles, cancelling it out. But as i understand it those bigger muscles will consume more calories so your cals out will go up and assuming your cals in stay the same the weight will start to drop off. I think a week or two is not a long enough period to judge…

A fighter pilot. I blame Top Gun and living next to an RAF training base...

Voted for you. Good luck bud!

I eat at Nandos every week and do so guilt free. Half a chicken and rice is around 700 cals iirc. I have sparkling water with it. You could have just a 1/4 chicken to save a bit, and you won't go hungry if you ask for the 1/4 to be a breast. Frankie and Benny's lighter options are good, but no info on the rest of their…

Good idea. I'll sign that now. I notice Wagamamas now have nutrition info on their site, they didn't last year. (and I can see why as the calories are horrific!) Frankie and Bennys only gives the info for their lighter choices stuff. I needed to eat more that eve than their lighter choices provided, but had no idea what to…

I wear a fitbit one and have noticed that with driving to and from work and sitting at a desk and other than that just waling to and from the car park and through the building and up and down a couple of flights of stairs my activity ranks as sedentary. According to my fitbit I was covering 2 miles so I wouldn't think your…

I'm from the UK, you can add me if you like. Same goes to anyone else on here. :)

My elliptical doesn't allow input of height, age, weight etc although it has a heart monitor but I think that's for my benefit, not for its calculations. I use an iPad/iPhone app called BeatBurn which tells me what resistance to set and how long to run for and at what rpm (I just use the RPM reading on the machine to do…
