Treadmill in exercises??
Am I missing something? I can't find anything in the listed exercises that resembles running on a treadmill.

intelligent mobile run AND walk tracking
Is there an app out there which can deduce from your speed whether you are running or walking and assign calories accordingly? It could even be part of the settings (e.g. if I am going faster than 3.5 MPH, then I am running. If it is slower, then I am walking).

Oats???
Search for oats on MFP. Top hit: 600cal/cup. Second hit Quaker Oats: 300cal/cup (this is also what is on the label) Anyone have any insight into this?

My first-date with a HR monitor
I went out and got a Polar FT4 (off Ebay! $12!). I tried it for the first time last night. I was fascinated by the heart rate and now see easily why I do not run very far before having to walk! The session lasted 55 min, four miles. I ran the first couple of miles, then alternatively ran to 160BPM, then walked to 135BPM,…

Do you correct the calorie readings on machines?
So I use and love the Cybex 750 elliptical. I average about 5 four hours on that crazy thing per week. I take the calories that it says I burn (about 1000/hour) and multiply by 0.8 before entering them in MFP. I am not losing any weight. Perhaps I should be correcting the calorie score more (less?) than I am? What do other…

*BLUSH*
I have weighed 183 for a very long time. Like many here I feel a bit stuck. I just opened my diary; suddenly I feel a bit naked! Which would be no thrill for anyone, I don't look _precisely_ like my picture. I am a 53 year-old guy. I am pretty religious about entering my calories. I take what the elliptical (a Cybex 750)…

Dry to cooked pasta conversion
For what it is worth, 16 oz of dry thin spaghetti cooks to 37 oz of cooked (al dente) spaghetti. Thus you can weigh your cooked pasta and divide by 2.3 to find out what it weighed dry.

Heart rate and energy consumption
I use a Cybex elliptical at the gym. I am not a super athlete. I get my heart-rate up to ~150 and hold it there for ~45m. At the end of the workout the gizmo tells me I’ve burned ~800 cal -- equivalent to an 6 mile run (which would take me an hour)!! When I run my heart rate is likely to be about the same, suggesting the…
