Minced beef fat
I bought some "less than 10% lean irish beef mince" yesterday. My question is...when i brown it in the pan and drain the fat off...how do i then log it? As the original weight, the new browned weight? Surely after i drain it, its not 10% fat content?

Ezekiel bread
What is so special about this bread? I'd never heard of it before so googled it and it just seems to be a recipe from the bible. (i'm not trivializing the bible) If it is so good, can we buy it in the UK?

Guilty feelings?
Yesterday morning i broke into the 200's to 298lbs from a start of 351lbs 12 weeks ago. I went to the shops to buy something for dinner and couldnt find what i wanted. So i spent about 30 minutes going round and round the shop picking up things, reading the nutrition data, putting them back. I was getting more and more…

HRM
I've just bought an HRM and tried it out this evening. I am 6'2", 301lbs, male. 50 minutes @ 4mph across fields and some roads. I averaged 130 bpm and it says i burnt 998 calories. Surely that cant be correct? MFP says 569 calories and i'm not sure about that either. It was struggling to make contact in the beginning, so…

Bananas
Are bananas a good post swim food? I ask because i don't if they are worth the high carb count. I have a protein bar before i swim. I swim for 45 minutes alternating crawl and breaststroke. Do i need anything after? Or is it just that we see sports stars eating bananas so we assume they must be good?

Egg whites
Mainly for people in the UK but anyone can chip in. I see a lot of the American people on here talking about eggbeater. Can we get anything similar in the UK? I buy free range eggs from the local farm and though they are fairly cheap, i begrudge throwing away the egg yolks. I usually have a 3 egg omelette for breakfast (…

The receptionist at the sports centre hadnt seen me for a week as i haven't been due to a heavy cold and she said they need to…

Flavourless bulgar
I have used bulgar wheat for a few months now, But I am cutting down on salt, so no stock cubes either. Just had it for dinner tonight and flavoured it with chilli flakes, cumin, pepper, dried mint. Weird combination i know but i'm trying different ones. I am going to keep using it as it fills me up and is better than…
