Body Builder meals -- to gain weight!
It seems all I see is people wanting to lose weight and having a problem with that. Well, I have the opposite problem so I don't understand it. I was overweight and was able to lose it, but now I'm back to how I was in high school --TOO SKINNY! So I need to gain weight again. However this time, I want to do it in a healthy…

skinny guy wanting to gain weight for muscle mass
Long story short.... I was skinny most of my life --eat whatever I want and not gain a pound. After college, I got a sit down job and after ten years or so I was 30 pounds overweight. In 2012 I lost the weight by changing my diet to a healthy one, and I started doing cardio, and later some weight training. Here it is April…

drinking juice for extra calories
I generally avoid sugared drinks (especially soft drinks). But what about 100% fruit juice? It's high in sugar (but it's natural) right? So I can consider it a healthy drink? I know it's high in calorie -- but I am having a hard time meeting my minimum number of calories for the day. So, I decided to drink a glass or two…

HRM Battery life?
Does anyone know how long the battery life is for a standard heart rate monitor? Not a real fancy one. Mine is the Timex Ironman Road Trainer which only tracks your heart and gives you calorie output etc. But it doesn't track with GPS which would save on battery power I think. The manual says the watch has a 3 year batter…

2012 - My Year of Rebirth
I've been thinking about fitness and nutrition for the past twenty years or so. However, the entire process has been like a yoyo for me. One month I'd be serious about it, the next month I'd slack off. Sometimes it would be years vrs months. I don't know that I really had much of a motivating factor for any of it other…

ALL day strength training (long rests between sets)
Is it ok to workout all day long but spread everything out over the course of an entire day? For instance, do 1 setup of pullups to failure, rest for a half hour (at work), come back do another set to failure, etc -- until you do your entire workout? So basically I'm following a normal program -- I'm just wanting to spread…

TRX vrs standard exercises like pushups, pullups etc
I'm thinking about getting a TRX kit for my basement. Is there a benefit to this vrs just doing pushups, pullups, situps and other standard exercises that don't use weight? It looks cool, but doesn't seem like it offers that much more. http://www.trxtraining.com/

Bike vrs Walk (Calories burned)
If my calculations are correct... 100 minutes of casual walking is the same as 30 minutes of moderate biking on a recumbent exercise bike (in regards to calorie burn)... amazing! What do you think?

Fruit -- how many pieces do you eat a day?
On average, how many pieces of fruit do you eat in one day? In pieces I mean 1 whole apple, 1 whole pear, 1 whole banana, etc. If you include pineapple, break it down to be about the size of an apple etc. My concern: If I start making fruit smoothies, I can really up my fruit count by allot! I don't think it's a problem as…
