punch the same 20 minutes into mfp both exersises and you will see an elliptical burns a lot more calories in the same amount of time, even a real bike versus a stationary there is a difference because it takes more muscles to balance.

coleslaw (1% sour cream instead of mayo) apples cauliflower raw and cooked shrooms cukes carrots by the 5lb bag dip for veggies with mrs dash, 1% sour cream and rice wine vinegar all low in calories veggie (salad) plate with a can of tuna on top works 4 me

I too am battling hypertension which is why I am using fitness pal. It helps with monitoring sodium (salt intake) which is a biggie in the hbp reduction scheme.

BTW there's nothing like fresh baked bread and if you buy bulk flour and yeast,…

I found with MFP information regarding calories in foods, sometimes there are errors, intentional or not, even the serving sizes are ridiculously small, etc. one time on a chicken pkg it said a breast was 100g, similar calories but…

I found the calorie wise creamsicles on sale and they are just like the real thing only smaller. Just don't eat the whole box at once....lol
