Getting Accurate Calorie Burn while on a Treadmill
Hi MFPals, I come to you with a frustrating topic. I am fully aware why the number on the treadmill is not a reliable one. This frustrates me after a treadmill workout, because I am not sure what exercise calorie amount to put in. Does anyone have any recommendations to get an accurate number? Some websites recommended…

Heat + Knee = Indoor Exercise Questions
Hey MFPals, I live in the South, and the heat is unbearable as some of you may unfortunately know. I am doing Couch 2 5K, and I have to run again tonight (to avoid the heat). My knee is starting to become more painful, so I wear a knee brace, but there is a problem. During the day, I am sedentary; I go to the gym 3 times a…

Cheat meal
Hi MFPals, I have a final exam tomorrow morning, and I have worked hard this entire semester studying. On top of that, I have been exercising 3 times a week and cutting my calories by way less than recommended (I have since adjusted it to just shy of 1,800). I have lost 24 lbs., and I am loving life (minus the occasional…

Weight Scales
Hi MFPals, I have purchased many weight scales in my day, and I come to find out, many will either give a bad reading or no function well over a short period of time. What is the most accurate and preferable scale you recommend and use?

Protein, Fat, and Carbs Calculating
Hi MFPals, Hope you are all enjoying your Tuesday. I want to be brief. What is the most accurate (in your opinion) calculator that will tell me close to how many grams of Protein, Fat, and Carbs I should be consuming. After very briefly speaking with a nutritionist one day, they said the values MFP auto-generates are not…

Couch 2 5K Question
Hey MFPals, This is for those that have done Couch 2 5K. I am doing this program to burn fat, and I have some questions. Most importantly, it says Day 1, 2, and 3. Does this mean consecutively? For instance, do it Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and then you are off for the week? That cannot be right. I take it that it may…

My Birthday
Hey MFPals, I hope you are all having an awesome day; we are almost to the weekend! So, recently, I realized it was time to become a healthy person. I cut out all junk / fried foods and started walking/jogging/running every single night. I feel a lot better. With my new diet and exercise comes a desire to stay healthy and…

Protein deficit
Hello friends here at myfitnesspal, I have changed my diet considerably, and at the end of the day, I am finishing with an unreached protein goal. Generally speaking, 80-120+ may be my protein deficit. It irritates me to no end, because today, I ate the P3 Protein Packs and Greek yogurt, and I eat tilapia, meats, and…

Protein problems!
I try to eat meat throughout the day, and sometimes I will eat sandwiches with extra meat. What bugs me is that I have a 35% protein goal, but at the end of the day, I will only be at 24% of the goal. I am a college student; therefore, some of my options are limited. But, are there any meals and/or gas station snacks that…

Hello, friends! I have a few questions (vitamin experts wanted, also)! Forgive the novel.
Hi friends, How are you all doing today? It is Saturday here... first time I have seen the sun and sky for a while (been overcast for the past few weeks). When I start typing, I can end up writing a novel, so please bear with me (or just hit the hard shut down button on your computer now and grab a cup of Java)! For those…
