Gotcha. I was taking it in the spirit that people were saying they weren't a benefit at all. I would still say that powders can help along snacks that you may crave that your body absorbs quickly. Something that is all carbs will go right to sugar and you'll feel empty shortly thereafter. Add a bit of protein and your…

I'm surprised at folks saying there's no benefit. You need fat and protein in your diet. They help you feel full. It can help with hunger pangs. Too much can be bad for you, but "too much" depends solely on you, and your needs. Liquid intake becomes even more important with more protein. Try this for yourself: eat a…

Flinging weight about like that can be a recipe for disaster. The fact that you're racing through sets because of a clock seems especially bad. Do you have a spotter? Or at least somebody who is literally watching your back? Bad form will put you in a world of hurt. I've done that volume at that weight before. Been right…

Freezing is a pretty good thing for me, if the food will stand it. If you can combine it with a vacuum sealer, that helps the food last even longer. (air and frost are foods enemies in the freezer) I've found it to be a bit of a bonus, because I can make a recipe for four, then divide it up into portions. If you get the…

Has anyone used either of these for strength training? I'd like to know if the fitbit can tell if I'm benching, or rowing, or doing anything where the fitbit would be stationary. It'd be a pain if I had to correct the uploaded info to MFP because the bit said 100 calories in a workout, but HRM said 500.

That's a tough call. Do you know that in the average 3 hour MLB baseball game, the ball is only in motion 2 mins 30 seconds? A minute per frame seems like a high estimate. Most of that time seems like aiming. I take five steps in my swing. So the actual motion couldn't count more than ten seconds. However: I think this…

I used to rollerblade 16 miles every other day. Arch pain didn't come until I switched brand and style of boot. I had no problem in a cheapo pair of hard boots, but when I switched to a premium pair of K2 soft boots, I couldn't go more than a mile without cramping up and pain. Eventually I was able to break my feet into…

I had the same problem. Most of my workout is based around strength training, and I wanted the credit for the calories. Like the previous posts said, you can enter "strength training" under cardio exercises. I found the numbers discouraging though. How could 55 minutes of strength training only be 300 calories for me?…
