Protein goals impossible?!
Okay. I know I'm going to get a lot of slack for this, but please help me meet my protein goals. I really don't like meat (I usually eat maybe one or two meals a week with meat) and I especially don't like chicken.

Better way to squat?
Is there any way to squat with weights besides dumbbells and smith machines and squat racks?

Does app adjust calories burned
Hi! I was wondering if the app adjusts your calories burned during workouts once you start losing weight. I started at 180 lbs and am now at 150, so I realize that running at 6 mph for 5 minutes would burn less calories now that I weigh less.
