Work out or blow out?
I exercise 4 times a week. I try to exercise early so I do it. But there is a difference between a decent work out and one where I'm useless for the rest of the day. I try to do a blow out once a week to really push. (I take a killer TRX Class). What's the right way to do this? Should every work out try to be a blow out?…

Weight gain after exercise?
Doess anyone else experience a slight weight gain the day after a particularly grueling work out? Even if I do not give myself more calories that day I gain a pound. It goes away over the next two days. Is it extra water or is the muscle building? I'm OK with it. Just curious.

Accurate calorie counts
I've noticed some real anomalies in some of the foods that show up when you search for a particular food. In some cases the data entered seems almost like a joke. Is there a way to manage this entire so that they don't stay? Like there are bunches of entries for Wawa products that don't match their nutrition page at all.…

Calculating calories burned
Every day in cold weather I hike 1/4 mile carrying 45 lbs of water. I can't find a good caloric calculator that tells me the calories burned for an activity like this. Anyone have a suggestion?
