  • I ignore the workout calories and try to stick to the same daily limit. I do not believe the calories burned figures to be accurate. Secondly the big reason for exercise is to maintain a higher BMR. The calories burned are small relative to that effect.

  • Thank you for that. I knew they were supposed to be bad but never saw any evidence for why. As a physiologist I need to know why.

  • Probably the least accurate numbers are calories burned. It so depends on the circumstances. It takes 3500 calories to lose a pound. When i was running 10 miles a day a small fraction of this came from thar severe exercise. I now an basically crippled and can't do that any more. Use the tools here to log in your food eaten…

Now I know what it cost me. Some active form of stress management would have been so much better. I bet if you google "stress eating" you will…

  • Be aware of salt! high salt consumption (as in EVERY restaurant) can make you retain water. Water weighs about 7.5 lbs per gallon. therefor a quart of excess water about 1.75 lbs. Every time I eat out my weight increases for this reason. I use NO salt in my own cooking. This makes me even more sensitive.

  • In German the word "fast" means "almost". Very appropriate I'd say. Healthy quick snacks and meals are easy to come by and can taste much better and be more satisfying. Invest a few minutes and then dig in your heals and go cold turkey. You won't go back!
