How to track marinades
...so I'm about to marinade this chicken breast in soyaki sauce.. I'm not going to be consuming all of the marinade, and a good portion of it that is absorbed into the meat will 'cook out' once I put it on my Griddler.. so I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on how to track it? I'm not certain how much of it will still be…

Soldierfit
Anyone here tried Soldier fit? I'm contemplating giving it a go.. I checked out its site and it looks pretty good.. but I have this thing where most fitness classes I have attended in the past are filled w/tangible pretentiousness - and that's what I'm trying to avoid..

My theory on the arm things on ellipticals..
So I've had my new elliptical for a little over a month..and after using it's included chest strap HRM and watching what my HR does when I alter my workout (incline, resistance, speed, etc etc), I've come to the conclusion that the arm things on ellipticals are mostly there to help raise your heart rate / stimulate blood…

Halp - Sorta bad NSV and some advice..

DC, Maryland, and Virginia MFP'ers
Hello all, I've started a new group for MFP'ers in the DC Metro area - It's kind of sparse now as I've just created the group.. but I figure it's a good place for people in this ever expanding metro area to keep in touch and perhaps meet up off line from time to time.. We could do things like healthy dinner outings,…

So I'm going to lift weights on Weds..
..and I'm wondering how many different exercises I should do.. When I used to lift 12+ years ago, I'd do 3 sets of 3 different machines/exercises.. I just did that because it was kind of a "makes sense..*shrugs*" kind of feeling.. but should I be doing more or less sets w/more or less weight? Or is that something I just…

Apps y'all use..
So obviously most people here (if not all) use the MFP app on their phones for nutrition and fitness tracking, but what other useful apps do you use for daily things.. For me : Food Planner - for my grocery lists and supply tracking Task List - for my "to do" list stuff.. I have an android phone and these 3 apps have made…

Which calories to use - From MFP or Elliptical?
The calorie total on my elliptical differs vastly from the one MFP gives me when I plug in the amount of time I exercised. Which one should I go with? (I've been using the ones on the elliptical since they're lower)

Healthy food with decent calories but low protein
I'm having a small problem.. I keep going over my protein goals and everything I have here that's low in protein, is also low in calories..meaning I'd have to eat a bunch of it to get close to my caloric goal.. and I'm wayyy under in my calories (and I think I've been under every day I've logged so far). Are there any…

Small NSV
So today I got home and was going through some new/old clothes.. New/Old clothes are what I call clothes I bought a while ago, thinking I could fit them..but the "cut" of the clothes didn't jive w/my body.. In this instance there were some "straight-leg" jeans I got (rather than loose cut) this summer, but never wore…

New to the site..
I joined this site because of the support I've seen between members.. I've tried to lose weight before with mixed results (meaning I've gained it back shortly after losing it).. so I figured I need to get this taken care of once and for all and with the support here, I feel I have a better chance of success.. I hope I can…
