  • MFP on my phone has that feature. Very easy to use and can scan barcode for the stuff your using rather then searching for them. You put in the name and how many people it serves then add your ingredients. It will break everything down for you.
  • What is your goal? Lose? Maintain? Gain?
  • As far as vitamin A goes it's not too big of a deal if not massively over all the time. Too much vitamin A can cause serious damage over time if over consumed regularly at high volumes. Vitamin C on the other hand you can go over by a lot everyday with no consequences only benefits. (Immune system) . Not saying you should…
  • In my opinion protein bars are great as well as some whey protein shakes. Many different flavored out there so they can be added to many different liquids including water, juice, milk, iced fruit smoothies and so on. Starbucks even has a whey protein shake that is high in pottasium and protein. I eat lean meats very often…
  • Sorry didn't pay close enough attention before I responded to actually look at the numbers. I must have added a zero to the 1077. But then it still doesn't make sense. I agree with ADc. Maybe you looked at just 1 specific ingredient. I also am not familiar with kg. hope you find out what happened. Sorry I couldn't help
  • Nothing. You must have put in that your recipe serves 2 people.
  • If your working intense it is normal to feel a bit sore afterwards. Should you feel like your paralyzed? Absolutely not! Proper weight/sets/reps/rest/nutrition is key to growth and recovery. I mentioned earlier to add in other chest exercises other than flat bench. Give it a shot. All of us responding have givin you the…
  • Also... If you want the most out of chest exercises to gain mass, make sure your doing incline and decline as well as flat. Guaranteed if you do an intense workout using these with heavy weights to almost the point of failure you will feel it the next day. In my experience I started lifting about 4-5 weeks ago. I do not do…
  • Your chest will only grow to a certain point by only doing push ups. That is saying your chest is out of shape and your not adding plates on your back. Same exercise with same weight does not build muscle so they will not grow. If your not feeling your bench then add more weights and keep going. Push-ups are good for many…
  • Something small I noticed is you did not add how much water you drank. Staying hydrated is a key factor. It can be used as a tool sometimes if your feeling sore, bloated, tired and so on. Because you can look back at your diary and come to find out.... You drank too much water or not enough. Just an idea. Anyway you did…
  • Great Info. Thanks for sharing that
  • I just asked a VERRY similar question haha. I have heard through responses to figure about 3 calories burned per min of strength training. Obviously how intense the workout are will have a factor in this. Just remember you burn more calories after weight training than you do during. Due to the fact your muscles pull in as…
  • Music Determination Focus Pretend your the only 1 there Keep goals in mind Just remember as stated above that everyone there wants to better themselves. Most do not judge. Many try to help especially with technique and such. If all else fails and your too self conscious about the others around you....pass some gas and they…
  • I have hear that before and completely agree with this. I was just curious how much I was burning since MFP doesn't break it down at all when it's entered like it does with cardio.
  • I actually bought 1 yesterday. It calculates BMI, body fat %, percentage of water in body, daily caloric intake based on my goals (similar to MFP), bone mass (estimate of how much the bones in the body weigh, and muscle mass. I'm sure the numbers it reads out are not accurate but it at least gives a general idea. For…
  • I weigh about 180 and do an hr and half to 2 hrs of intense lifting with a resting session of about 15-20seconds. Just enough time for my brother to finish his set. So judging off of what you guys are saying, maybe about 300 calories per workout. Only reason I was wondering is I have been lifting and eating decent for…
  • Sorry it says blog cannot be found. Thank you for the tip
  • Once again.....All I am saying is having the determination to do so as well as a strong support system goes a long way. if there is no will power to stop then it obviously wont. Pretty sure I am agreeing with not doing it alone. Best of luck OP
  • I completely agree. You obviously read over the part where I mentioned I am dealing with the same situation. The OP said they are able to stop drinking to lose the weight and then once the weight is gone they go back to drinking so to answer your question yes in that case it is mind over matter. OP obviously isn't having…
  • The question isn't how to keep drinking and avoid calories. Its how to get rid of the cravings and stop going back to it. This comment is avoiding the problem. All I can say is mind over matter. Be strong and if you need any kind of support DO NOT feel ashamed in asking for it. As stated earlier... some people can do it on…
  • Good point!
  • HAHA ya bananas are a must. great source of potassium. Maybe try adding some strawberries or cherries that are a bit sweeter to cover up the banana taste. I will be experimenting a bit more with shakes since I want to have 1 a day and the same 1 everyday will get old fast. ill keep you updated
  • 4 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks is a steady/healthy pace. Cardio and what you eat will go a long way. good luck
  • How long have you been going to the gym?
  • It's no 1000 calories but definitely a delicious and simple shake. 6oz yogurt 4oz whole milk 1 banana 2 scoops whey isolate 1-3 cups ice (depends on how thick you want it) 515 calories 5.1g fat 117.5mg cholesterol 513mg potassium 71g carbs 73g protein If any is left over its great frozen as well.
  • Can tennis shoes make you a pro tennis player to?
  • There is a pencil icon on the bottom of the screen directly in the middle. Tap the pencil and then choose what foods you want to get rid of then tap the trash can icon to the right of the pencil. Boom they are now erased:happy:
