Hoffbrau's Steakhouse Nutrition
I'm going to Hoffbrau's tonight for dinner and I can't find the nutritional value anywhere. MFP doesn't have it, nor their website, can't even find it through a Google search. Does anyone have any nutritional info for the 8oz sirloin steak without the lemon butter sauce? I will most likely have 1-2 rolls, a salad and a…

Brain Zaps from stopping Anti-Depressants- What can I do?
I've been taking 60mg of Cymbalta/day for nearly 8 months now. I've spoken with my doctor about getting off the medication, and he has approved me to get off of it. So instead of being weened off of it, I chose to try cold turkey first. Today is day 3 of no medication and the "brain zaps" are awful today. I don't know how…

Looking for short videos of vegetarianism vs carnivores
Hi everyone! I am a high school English teacher and this year I'll be teaching how to write a persuasive speech. The school offered me to show the movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. I don't want to show the whole video because I think it's a waste of precious time so instead I'm looking for short 5-15 minute videos of…

Almond breeze or Silk Pure Almond singles... Where to buy??
I've heard both Blue Diamond and Silk have come out with 11oz single servings of their almond milk products. But I haven't seen them on the shelves at Target yet. (That's where I grocery shop.)

Walking at work- to log or not to log?

Advocare-- is it legit?
A friend of mine takes Advocare, he wants me to try it. Has anyone tried or is anyone currently taking Advocare? I've tried the Spark energy drink, and I will say it's rather tasty but it didn't give me anymore energy than other products. What are your thoughts? A girl at my CF gym takes it and I've seen results in her in…

Calories burned- really?!
This morning I went to a new Spin class. The instructor is either new, or boring. Because we really didn't work very hard. I mean sure, we did jumps, hills, high resistance, sprints, etc. I don't wear a HRM, yet, so i don't know my actual calorie burn. As we were finishing our ride, the instructor said, "whew! 600 calories…

I did spin class this morning before work, and I'm about to crash here on my keyboard. I can go get an energy drink if necessary, but i prefer coffee in the…

FOOD GUILT
I feel guilty every time I eat something that's not good for me. Which at a certain level is ok and a good thing, however, it actually takes such a serious affect on my mood that it's becoming a bit out of control. Example: Thanksgiving work party yesterday. Loaded up on meats and broccoli. Guilt level: 2 because the…

How accurate are the hand held BF and BMI checkers? My Crossfit gym has one. On March 7, 2011 Here what it read: Age: 22 Height: 5 '8 Weight: 143.5 BF%: 18.7 BMI:21.6 Those numbers are all in the "good and normal" range for me. So I was happy, that was until yesterday...
