Which Harris-Benedict should I use
Good morning all, Quick background, in addition to MFP for food/exercise data logging I use a separate spreadsheet to track totals, graphing, energy expediture, BP, etc. For a long time I have used the original 1919 Harris-Benedict BMR formula in this spreadsheet without any particular complaint. I am in the process of…

Alternatives to Beans
Background: I love beans, black beans are a main stay of my lunch for their balance of protein and fat, but their fiber is proving to be a little rough on the lower digestive tract. Question: Any suggestions on an alternative to beans? Maybe something very low in fiber with some good protein. Alternatively any suggestions…

Almond Milk vs Orange Juice
Okay, this seems like a bit of a weird either-or,but in the mornings I have been having a glass of OJ with Greek Yogurt, Banana, and a little nibble of granola. The question I had is whether there would be a nutritional benefit to subbing the OJ for Almond Milk (or something else). Just thinking about it. Never tried the…

Trying to decide to do a HM
So summary, I have been on MFP since the beginning of March and have been pretty faithful except for a month and a half between the end of May and the beginning of July.

Closed groups? Can someone enlighten me?
As I work through the forums this morning I am noticing several active threads marked as 'Closed Groups' and it makes me wonder, if you are forming a closed group would it not be better to form a group and conduct it in a private forum instead of among the public forums? Please understand I am not complaining per se, but I…

Sprained ankle
Okay, well someone else is complaining about a broke toe which makes this question seem a little silly, but yesterday I managed to sprain my ankle and I fear that it will take a few days to mend (minor sprain). Does anyone have any cardio suggestions for me until I am up and running again (pun intended)? I imagine I can…

How fast to run?
I am curious among the avid runners in this community, what is a good average running speed? I do treadmill and I can peak out at about 7.5 MPH, but I do not know if that is a good average speed (for a continuous pace) or if an average would be more or less. I know that it is different for each person, but I am trying to…
