Heart rate monitor for intense workouts
Hi all, What have you guys found to be the most accurate heart rate monitors for high-intensity cardio workouts? I'd like to try to be accurate with my burned calories. I tend to use the elliptical on a very high resistance. Thank you!

Need to cut back on protein! Help!
I just realized that I'm getting way too much protein every day (well over 100 grams - more like 130+). I'm 5'2/3", 102 pounds and I can maintain this weight at 2,000 - 2,200 calories a day. I'm also breastfeeding an infant, which is why I need that many calories. Can someone please help me find foods to bulk up my meals,…

Breastfeeding mothers, calorie help...

What am I REALLY burning
Hi everyone, I purchased a nordictrack elliptical and I'm trying to figure out what I'm burning. I'm not able to program my stats. I'm a 33 yo female, 5'2/3", 102 pounds so I'm quite petite. Here's a pic of the screen when I'm done with the workout. Any idea what my actual burn is? My HRM says 500 cals. Thank you!!!

Weighing in after workout
Hi everyone, I usually weigh myself after a morning workout, once a week. I just read that this is not the best time to weigh in because the muscles retain water after they've been strained. Thoughts on this? Should I weigh in the day AFTER a rest day?

Digital scales
Hi everyone, I have a digital scale and I find that it fluctuates when I move it to different parts of the room (always on a hard surface though). Also, when I weigh myself it will say one number, but if I step off it and back on again a second or two later it will give a different reading! So frustrating! Is there any way…

Ayurvedic nutrition and holistic health
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone out there practices or studies Ayurvedic nutrition. I feel like I'm gonna get yelled at for posting this on MFP because Ayurveda is not about counting calories for weight loss, but it IS about achieving optimal health by eating for your body type. Anyway, I recently started looking into…
