Varying Nutrition Values/Labels for the Exact Same Ingredient. How/Why?
It is something that's always bothered and confused me when reading nutrition labels and seeing different nutrition values for what's supposed to be the exact same thing. I'll use Oat Bran as an example, since it was one of the things I bought today, that is like that between different brands. 4 different brands (2 well…

Your Thoughts on the Easy/Lazy way to fat loss (Surgery)?
A bit of a long story /explanation here (with a bit of a rant too) So I work in the operating theatres of the biggest hospital in the country. Well..9 of the 21 theatres are in the area I work in.

Protein Pancake! (omelet?!?)
Has anyone ever tried making some form or variation of a protein pancake or omelet? What was it like? Any suggestions or tips? What kind of ingredients or recipes do you have for yours?

Cardio with Weights - Also weighted body weight exercises
Does anyone have any idea on how many extra calories are burned when walking (or jogging/running/etc) when you carry extra weight? Such as a full rucksack on your back, with 5 pounds, 10 pounds, 15 pounds of extra weight or whatever? Or anyway to calculate that? And for the second part of the title. When doing body weight…

Macro Nutrients and What you Eat
How important is it to hit all your macro nutrients every day? And does chocolate or other junk food make any difference in fat loss vs lean body mass loss, or just body fat percentage? (i'm 20, 5'4, 149 pounds, male) Daily calorie limit is 1270. But yeah, almost every day, I seem to be short in hitting my macro nutrient…

Accuracy of Calories Burned
Does anyone know how accurate/inaccurate MFP is with calories burned for various cardio options? (like walking 3.0mph, or 3.5mph, etc) Also, is just general walking considered decent daily cardio? If for example, every day I was to walk into town, or to a nearby shopping center or something, and spend at least 1 hour…
