Here is a decent website that has some nutririon info for several restaurants: http://www.dwlz.com/restaurants.html

A better measurement for you might be your body fat percentage. Muscle weighs more that fat, so in theory, it shouldn't mater how much you weigh, but rather how healthy you are and what your body fat % is. There are scales that can estimate your body fat %, or you can buy a set of calipers fairly cheap and learn how to use…

There are a lot of organizations out there now that run adult sports leagues. Here is one example in the Tampa Bay Area: www.tampabayclubsport.com If you look hard enough (i.e. Google), you might find something in your area. If not, you could always start your own and make it a new career! There is a huge demand for it.

Here is a good article on the subject: http://whatscookingamerica.net/HealthBeauty/HighIntensityWorkout.htm I read several years ago that lower intensity workouts are actually better for burning fat, but according to the above article, that theory is now out of favor. Basically your workout is a matter of Intensity X…

Here is a good rough estimate: 12 oz beer = 150 calories 12 oz lite beer = 110 calories 5 oz wine = 90 calories 1 1/2 oz liquor = 90 calories (with 6 oz carbonated drink mix add another 75 calories)

It depends on what you mix the liquor with - diet coke is good with rum and is almost always available. Here is an interesting article on the subject: http://diet.ivillage.com/issues/isnacks/0,,2skj,00.html

Sure, you'd be better off eating 220 calories worth of vegetebles rather than drinking 220 "empty" calories on a pint of stout, but calories are calories. There is no reason you can't drink a beer or two and still lose weight, as long as you meet your calorie goals for the day/week/month. On that note, Michelob Ultra Amber…

Your BMR is the amount of calories you would burn if you were "at rest" all day. But nobody stays in bed all day! We do things like walking, housework, driving, etc., all of which burn calories. If your BMR is 1600, then 2000 sounds about right for what a typical person would burn in a typical day of walking around,…

Water weighs about 7 pounds per gallon, so it can easily make your weight fluctuate. But it is more important to drink enough water than to make the scale say something nice. That's why you should only weigh yourself once a day, in the morning after you wake up and go the the bathroom, and always use the same scale. Your…

You MUST "burn" more calories that you take in in order to lose weight, period. However, note that "burn" doesn't imply "work out". Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the amount of calories you would burn if you stayed in bed all day. This is somewhere between 1200 and 1800 for most people (hence the 1200 calorie "floor").…

Dolson is right - 4 oz of cooked anything probably started out as 6-8 oz raw. In other words, to get 4 oz ocfcooked turkey, you have to cook 6-8 oz of raw turkey, or... Your 4 oz of raw turkey turns into 2-3 oz of cooked turkey after you cook it. Hope that helps!

The term "diet" has been misconstrued by the "weight loss" industry. According to Merriam Webster's Dictionary, diet comes from Greek diaita, literally, "manner of living", from diaitasthai "to lead one's life". The specific definitions are: a : food and drink regularly provided or consumed b : habitual nourishment…

It's great that you get ghat much exercise in an average day at work! You can certainly afford to up your caloric intake, but I wouldn't shoot for 3000 just because the site says you should. Eat healthy, and eat until you feel full. If you do that and end up between 1500 and 2000, that's just extra weight that's coming…

Here's a quick and easy (and healthy) way to cook an egg: 1. Crack an egg into a regular sized coffee cup. 2. Place the cup in the microwave for 15 seconds. 3. Take it out and "swirl" it around until the egg becomes "unstuck" from the sides of the cup. 4. Repeat steps 2 & 3, but reduce the time to 10 seconds, then 5…
