    in 1PM and you only have 300 calories left for the day. How would you spend them? Comment by thebillmo January 2015
  • Conventional wisdom is to use a "double-overhand" grip (both hands knuckles out). However if the weight is too heavy for your hands to hold that way, switch to an "alternate" grip where one hand is overhand, the other hand is underhand. Typically your dominant hand will be the overhand one but that's personal preference.

  • Being in a perpetual state of hunger sounds unhealthy and miserable. Your point is well taken that eating disorders in Hollywood are a serious concern.

I often use multiple cardio machines in a single workout so I let the watch run while I switch even though my HR drops. I do pause it for long breaks such as, um, powdering my nose. I don't let…

  • The reason I joined MFP is that I inadvertently wasn't eating enough calories in a day to sustain my exercise and non-exercise needs. My body was showing signs of stress so I started tracking the calories with MFP and confirmed that yes, my deficit was out of bounds. So now I eat more. The moral: yes, do eat back your…
