US Low carb ingredients
HI all My friend is going to Florida later this year and I thought this might be a good time to ask her to pick up some low carb foodstuffs that can be hard to get here in the UK, such as low carb BBQ sauce. Any recommendations for things to ask her to pick up for me?? Thanks!

Snacks before / after gym
Hello all, hoping you can help me out here. I'm going to the gym tonight and I've got some snacks with me to eat before and after. I've got a small lump of cheese and a handful of almonds - will one set me up better for the workout and one help me recover better than the other? I.e. which shall I eat when?? Cheers!

Confused newbie!
Hello there, I'm new to the site although I've been using the MFP app for about 6 weeks. So far I've lost 3kg which I'm pretty pleased with, but I'm a bit confused about a few issues, and I'm hoping someone can help me. I've been reading the 'newbie read me' document but I really need some advice specifically for me - I…

Body fat percentage change?
Hi all I have just had a bad weekend food- and drink-wise, since I had a family member visiting. We don't see each other often so I knew I wasn't going to be able to stick to healthy eating while he was here. I feel bad now for what I've eaten but I'm back on it today so it'll be fine. Now, my query is regarding my body…

VO2 Max - does this sound right?
Hi all I've just done the resting HR test on this website: http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/vo2max-calculator.aspx I only did that one because I'm at work at the moment... but I counted 21 in 20 seconds, and it's telling me that my VO2 Max is 45, which is labelled as 'excellent'. I'm finding this…

My first NSV!
I've kept hold of my beloved winter coat, despite not being able to do it up, for the last 3-4 winters just because it's so lovely. The other day....I managed to zip it up! I was beyond pleased, I honestly can't remember the last time I could do it up without struggling to get past the boobs. Another one on Saturday -…

Salt & pepper chips from the chippy - how many calories??
I've planned on getting a naughty portion of salt & pepper chips from my local Chinese tomorrow, but I have no idea how to input them on here! There's various entries for chip shop chips, but they vary between 400 and 950 calories! Anyone have any advice?? Apart from not having them, because they're my treat this week!

Zumba - calorie estimate
Hello all I went to zumba tonight, and my HRM (non-chest strap one, so I know it's not as accurate) monitor told me I'd burned 1062 calories. That sounded a bit high to me, so I checked on zumbacalories.com when I got in, and that tells me 577? What do I enter into my exercise log?? Thanks a lot

What alcohol?
Hello everyone i'm going to a wedding tonight and am wondering what the best alcohol is to drink, calorie-wise? I know that beer is obviously high in calories, and since spirits don't agree with me, I was thinking white wine spritzer with soda instead of lemonade? Or am I overlooking something really obvious? Thanks a lot!

30 DS - weights?
Hi all I'm really tempted to get the 30 day shred DVD after seeing so many before and after pictures on here. My question is, what weights do I need to get? I don't own any. At the gym I normally do squats with an 8kg kettlebell, but apart from that most of my exercises aren't with loose weights so I don't really know!…

HRM readings? Help!
Hello all I've just been for a run and used my HRM - it's a cheaper one, without a chest strap and I know they're not as good, but I can't afford an expensive one at the moment. Anyway, it's got two different settings - one where it estimates your calories burned if the exercise has been at an even pace, and another where…
