Bruise question?
I realize a fitness and dieting forum is not a great place to go for medical advice, but hey, it's free! So I fell very hard going down stairs ~10 days ago. Like, all of my weight, falling a few feet, striking on a 3x5 area on my upper shin. Hard enough to make me cry. I applied ice but it swelled pretty badly, like 2" of…

Kid's Lucnhbox Ideas
My eldest is off to kindergarten tomorrow! What are some of your favorite healthy things to send along for lunch? My son isn't a picky eater, so all ideas are welcome!

Whey from cheese :P
I make fresh cheese and whey is a by-product. I normally just toss it, but it seems wasteful considering I also pay for big tubs of the stuff! Anybody have any recipes for using liquid whey, or know how to make it palatable for drinking? Maybe I should just make smoothies with it? Think it's worth it to buy a home rotavap…

Squat Troubles
I've been teaching myself to lift weights for about two weeks now. I love it! But one thing is becoming a huge source of frustration: squats. My form is awful, and I don't feel comfortable adding weights until it's good. Essentially, no matter what I do I lean really far forward and can't get very low. Like, it's maybe a…

Cardio on or alternating with lift days?
I'm just learning to weight train. Right now I'm lifting three days a week (MWF). I do cardio (jogging or cycling) after I lift. Becoming a runner is an important goal of mine, as is having better cardiovascular fitness, so yes I intend to keep doing cardio. Is it better to cardio on lift days or alternate cardio and…

Hungry right after breakfast?
I'm sure this has been brought up before. Most days I get breakfast, but some days I forget. Because of the studies done on the subject I'm somewhat fanatical about getting breakfast, even if I'm not hungry (which is often). Eating breakfast seems to have no effect on my hunger levels - either way, I want a meal at 11. I…

I want your shrimp recipes!
My husband is easily the pickiest eater I've ever met. I incessantly tease him about it! There are very few whole foods I don't like, but confession, I hate shrimp. I just can't get over the whole sea bug thing (similarly, I don't like lobster). I feel a bit hypocritical and incredibly silly, particularly because it's such…

Quick Added Calories
I see a lot of you add "quick added calories" to your food diary. Is that mostly used to estimate an unknown meal, or are you using it to artificially account for exercise? Or something else entirely?

Varying Nutritional Info?
From the database: 2.25 lbs of ground 73/27 beef, drained and rinsed: 1560-2340 kcals, 156-252 g protein 5 oz grilled chicken: 150 - 250 kcals Listen, I understand that due to varying growing conditions, water content, cooking technique, and processing nutritional values for all fresh foods are an estimates. I really…

Growing as an adult?
So. I'm apparently 5'9". I've been 5'8" for, uhh.... ever? And suddenly I'm 5'9". In fact, I'm 5'9.4". Checked it myself after my doctor told me so (I assumed it was a mistake). I know this seems like kind of a silly post, but now I'm concerned that I have a pituitary tumor or something. I'm 22 - do women sometimes grow at…

Desert weeds from hell
I just spent a couple of hours weeding of my yard... or at least, one tiny section of my yard. Holy ****, desert weeds SUCK. They grow seemingly overnight, their roots apparently stretch to hell, and they're covered in stickers/thorns/poison. I'm covered in a rash fingers to elbow, and on top of attacking my hands through…

Missing Meals
So I missed lunch today and had a small breakfast, putting me about 900 calories under my goal. This happens to me pretty much any day I forget to pack a lunch because I'm busy during the day, so not often, but once or twice a week. My question is, if you're this short at the end of the day, do you personally try to eat…

Kohlrabi
I have 10-12 kohlrabi laying around. I made a gratin last night which was really good, but I need more applications! What's your favorite way to use kohlrabi?
