Is there any point logging Strength Training
What I mean is, is the only function of logging Strength Training into MFP just to keep a record of your progress? By the looks of things it doesn't change any daily calorie count or change any required macros, does it?

Cardio and Weight Training- which session first?
I am doing 6 Cardio sessions a week and 4 heavy weight training. So obviously I have some days when I do both. Does anyone have any theories on which session I should do first and what sort of time gap I should be looking at or doesn't it matter? Thanks

Heavy Training before a BIG blow out meal
Tomorrow night is my mate's birthday. Every year we go to the same rib place. The meal we eat is about 3000 calories. Last time I did a huge training session (80 minute run) prior to going to the restaurant and then ate my ribs. So I was still in calorie deficit at the end of the day. My question is, does it matter that I…

Heart Rate Dilemma
I just did a pretty hard cycling session of 45 mins. I do this session once a week. I log a moderate effort in my MFP ap and it tells me I have burned 707 calories. I am buying a Polar FT7 on the weekend so my girlfriend lent me her HRM (it's a Pulse Sonic or something) for this session. My heart rate was between 155 and…

Is it ok for me to eat raw OATS?
I have 100% wholegrain rolled oats. Is it ok just to pour skim milk on the top, add blueberries and maybe some honey and consume? Will this block me up or expand in my stomach as some people have suggested?

My 15 course Degustation Dilemma
For Christmas I was given a dinner at one of the city's finest restaurants. It is a 15 course degustation. Decadent food that is apparently out of this world. The first thing is- I am definitely going. These are the reasons that I live. I have lost 13 pounds this year so I have worked hard and eaten really well. My…

Measuring Porridge- HELP please
I was given some great advice about rice yesterday but I have run into a similar problem with oats/porridge. My serving suggestion is 40g, I have bar code scanned the box I am using. Is this 40g of oats before I cook them with water or 40g of the final product? It doesn't specify. Makes a big difference to my calorie…

Cooking Rice Measurements HELP
Is one cup of rice or 100g of rice referring to rice that is cooked or uncooked. Do I do my measurements as I am preparing the rice or when I am putting it on the plate. Obviously rice is bigger and heavier once it has water added. Thanks.

My war with Sodium
I am new to this but having a great time using both my MFP ap and this amazing community. This has to be the most positive place I have been online. I have been going a week now and have lost a stupid amount (5kg or 11 pounds). I know this is just me losing water because I have seen this before. I am aware the hard slog is…

Help for my Fiancee' please
Hello, I have just started using MFP and it has been simply brilliant. Apart from keeping my goals constantly in front of me, it is also educating me on all things diet. In fact, 8 members of my family have all started with MFP and everyone is showing signs of success. But it is early days ;) This community has already…
