Almond Milk vs. Dairy Milk

OK guys... what's the best greek yogurt?
I've gotten into making my own granola regularly and putting fresh fruit in my yogurt. I've always been afraid to try greek yogurt because I've been told it's very sour.

Heart Rate Monitors?
I'd like to get a heart rate monitor for when I exercise, but I've never owned one, so I have a few questions. 1. Does it calculate calories burned? Or just your heart rate? 2. If it's just monitoring your heart rate, what do you do with that information? 3. Do they all have chest straps or do they get your heart rate from…

Extra Lean Beef Instead of Chicken?
My fiance and I used to try to have chicken as many times per week as possible because of the high protein and lean meat. I have started to get headaches after chicken meals (not sure why). Are there any downsides to have a few meals with extra lean ground beef per week? (95/5%) It costs a little more than regular but we…
