Guys on a Diet Membership

When I first came over from WW this forum was crowded. Maybe it's like what Yogi Berra said about a restaurant, " It's so crowded nobody goes there anymore ."

Not About Diet
I've participated in volunteer medical research studies over the years. I recently signed up to participate in a drug company's (GSK) clinical trials of an mRNA vaccine in development against bird flu, which could emerge as a new viral threat (just when you thought it was safe to permanently take your mask off). The study…

Question About WW Points
I did a high intensity bike ride this afternoon that took 45 minutes. WW credited me with 6 points. My Polar Fitness app said I used 450 calories. I ate a Kind bar after the ride, which is 200 calories and used 6 points. What gives? In balance, shouldn't I be getting 12 points for activity or 3 points for the Kind bar? WW…

Question About Fitness Tracker Accuracy
I've read that Fitness Trackers often overestimate the number of calories burned when exercising. My Tunturi stationary bike registers 55 calories per mile, which seems a gross overestimate of calories consumed. I bought a Polar FT 80 heart monitor, which allows you to transfer exercise data to their Polar Personal Trainer…

Optimal Protein Intake for Elderly
This article is detailed and may not be everyone's cup of bone broth, in which case you can just read the summary in the abstract at the beginning. Dietitians say that we need more protein as we age, especially so if we are in a weight-loss mode, so that we don't lose crucial muscle mass. In my case (age 75), over a a six…
