Exercising while sick?
Is this a good idea or bad idea? I have heard mixed feelings. Obviously I wouldn't exercise with a stomach virus or anything like that, but what about a cold with a sore throat and runny nose? Or something similar? If so, what should you do/not do to avoid feeling bad and possible injury?

Exercise machine accuracy?
How accurate are the readings on fitness equipment? I don't have a HR monitor at this time so I am judging how many calories I burn based on what the machine is saying. It doesn't ask for my weight, height, or anything like that.

How late is too late to eat?
I keep trying to figure this out. I do a lot of evening work out classes that last from 7-8 pm. There's no way I can eat before them (I would puke...) but I don't know how "ok" it is to eat that late after them?? I do need to make sure I eat enough to replinish myself otherwise I feel like crap so simply "eating less"…

Protein question
How bad is it for you if you go over the recommended amount of daily protein that is suggested by MFP? I find that I am happier and more full when I eat protein (which eliminates me trying to snack on junk food when I'm hungry). What do yall think?
