Great tips! I'm a sweet breakfast fan, but nor too sweet. I like plain oatmeal with some fruit and nuts (and maybe maybe maybe a tsp honey if I'm in the mood for something sweeter... like once a week!) but the savory approach sound delicious too. I've actually seen restaurants make "risotto" with all sorts of grains. Maybe…

Awesome! I can't run with as much intensity as I bike. My knees would explode! So that's why my run calories will always lower than my bike calories.

Thanks for the comparisons and app advice. I used to just be a runner and saw my fitness explode when I started biking. I'm on a road bike, usually in a hard gear while still maintaining a high cadence on flat terrain with a few 2-5 minute hills that I repeat. I do sprint intervals at least once a week. Not as crazy as…

I'm a vegetarian and used to struggle to get enough protein (at least 100g/day was recommended by my physician).

Lost 60lbs in college just by eating healthier and being active (hiking, rock climbing, competitive rowing). Held…

@3dogsrunning & @vpetryshyn: My intense exercise days includes 3 hours of cycling at 18-19mph average pace with hill repeats and/or sprint intervals in the morning, followed by a 30-45 minutes easy run in the evening. So pretty intense. The medium day is half that. The light day is a quarter. I eat gels and bars when I'm…
