If the run:walk intervals aren't too heavy on walking, this will pretty much be the case. For a 4:1 run:walk interval (run 4 minutes, walk 1) and a 20 minute/mile walking pace and 8 minute/mile running pace, it would only overestimate calories by 5% to assume you ran the entire distance. That is within the limit of…

Almost 9k, although there was a fair bit of estimating in there. This was physically my limit as I was well into uncomfortably full, but there was so much good food and drinks to be had at a post marathon get together :grin: . I'm an active 5'11" 150 lb male and average around 3000 calories/day on average usually for…

The overall pace method assumes you are running the entire time, which will overestimate since walking burns approximately half the calories per mile as running. If you had a Garmin or similar device or a GPS tracking app which has a lap feature, you could use lap to split up the running/walking segments so they could be…

I like to do an easy recovery run the day after racing a marathon or a 50k, super easy pace. I find I feel better if I loosen up the legs with some easy active recovery than just rest. Some biking is also another nice way to get in some active recovery. During marathon training cycles, I used the Hal Higdon intermediate…

I had no issues with them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now the "kids" who came trick or treating and were taller than me and had beards, I'm not so sure how they fared. Sadly, it appears they have been discontinued :disappointed:

Being someone who has maintained on anything from 2300 calories/day when injured and barely able to walk to 3000+ calories/day training for an ultramarathon, my experience has reflected the above thoughts. It was easier mentally due to it being a higher volume of food and being able to fit in more enjoyable, higher calorie…

I just hit 8 years of consistent tracking on MFP this weekend, and the above rings very true for me as well. I eat well overall, but I'm not afraid to enjoy food too (as I sit here eating a large piece of carrot cake a coworker brought in for breakfast...). I also weigh myself regularly and am active. The NWCR report which…

Same here. Milk for my coffee and cereal, salad dressing for my salad, the olive oil I put in the pan for cooking, I do it all by weight. There are two measurements called "ounces". Liquid volume measurement, which is fluid ounces, and weight measurement, which is ounces (16 ounces per pound). They are somewhat close for…

A week and a half is not long enough to draw a general trend or determine the efficacy of a diet. Water weight easily masks fat loss in the short term. I have a 5 lb range. I've changed the way I eat over the course of 8 years of food logging, with activity levels and exercise regiments ranging from sedentary, to lifting…

The extra mass you need to move does account for some as well, although even at 50 MPW of running, an extra 10 lbs adds up to an extra 315 calories/week, or 45/day. Within the range or error for most logging. For me at ~3000 cal/day to maintain at that amount of activity, that's an extra 1.5%... ouch Having gotten down to…

The way MFP is set up, you set your activity level based on your general activity level outside of purposeful, logged exercise. Over the past 90 days, I exercised an average of 70 minutes a day, burning 700 cal/day and getting about 15,000 steps/day, as an avid runner. The rest of the day I'm working in an office, so I set…

Polyploidy is very common in flowering plants, with estimates of 30% to 70-80% of all species of flowering plants being polyploids. Many commercial crops are polyploids as it's useful for hybrids, but so are many wild plants. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyploidy#Plants…

My scale will sometimes jump when I have my phone next to it, and I have to move it away to get it to zero. But that's the phone literally inches away. Are all three scales you are having the issue with the same model of scale? I have another large, higher quality kitchen scale, and it doesn't seem to have any issue with…

The anti-GMO/Organic marketing has plenty of money to follow as well. There are certain foods banned in the US that are sold in the EU as well (e.g. raw milk). I do find it funny the level of anti-GMO rhetoric kind of funny from the same countries where smoking is still so prevalent in comparison to the US though...

Our wine/beer aisle is on the perimeter of my grocery store.

I use Strava for my running shoe mileage tracking, and it's just a simple matter of updating the activity with the correct gear after each run which is 5-10 seconds worth of work through the Android app. I have two pairs of road shoes I rotate plus trail shoes. It looks like the Garmin Connect app can track in a similar…

I thought it was around 7k, but apparently I've had a higher day. This was physically my limit as I well into uncomfortably full, but there was so much good food and drinks to be had at a post marathon get together :grin: . I'm a 5'11" 150 lb male for reference. edit: Added spoiler tag because the picture is rather long as…

I've had the same thing happen with my optical armband HRM depending on the weather and the placement. Adjusting it and continuing at the same pace resulted in it settling back to an accurate HR. I've seen this happen to several people I know with the wrist based HRM in their Garmin watches as well. Keeping it tight seems…

But based on the ads I get across the internet, it does seem to be used to try and sell me life insurance base on my mile time :lol:

I always wear a HRM with my Garmin, either an optical armband one or a Garmin Run chest strap depending on what I'm doing. I too like having the data and as a way to provide feedback on effort. I still use distance for my calorie burns because it provides more consistent and reliable counts. Using HR data, even with a…

If you need just the HR reading and not any of the other running dynamics that some of the Garmin HR chest straps have, an optical HRM arm strap such as the Scosche RHYTHM+ or Wahoo TICKR FIT work well without the same issues with the "girls". They both feature Bluetooth and ANT compatibility.

Out of the 2900 calories I ate yesterday, 712, or approximately 25% of my calories, came from fruits and vegetables. So yes...

The pinnacle is Cherry Vanilla Coke Zero, but I can only get it in the Coca-Cola Freestyle Machines.

I'll reiterate what several people already said, what works for your stomach in a training run may not during race day. I've eaten an entire pizza before a 10 mile run, or had Chipotle before a run, and it doesn't bother me. During a race though, especially towards the later part, I mostly stick to liquid nutrition…

11+ lbs in 24-48 hours after going from lots of glycogen replenishment and muscle swelling with 50+ MPW of running to laying in bed in the ER and dehydrated. My weight stayed quite below normal by almost 7-8 lbs until I was able to start exercising again due to the loss of water weight as I was basically on bed rest for a…

But he's done his research...

Maybe some common sense starting to peak through? We'll see the ultimate results and decision of the public hearing. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-coffee-cancer-warning-20180815-story.html

Some background on the EU decision is in this article. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-science-behind-the-roundup-lawsuit/

I know when I want advice based on sound scientific judgement, I look to some wanna-be YouTube star instead of doctors and scientist who have spent years of their lives being educated, working in the field, and conducting and reviewing research.

They are the epitome of crying wolf. Nobody pays any attention to them. CA just doesn't want anybody to be happy.
