Marinades
How do you log marinades when you're grilling meat? I made up a batch for the salmon we're having for dinner and it's got a high calorie count (1/8 cup of oil and 1/3 cup brown sugar provided most of it),but I know very little of it will actually stick to the food. I logged 1/12 serving which was about 50 calories but…

Stage 1 Seated Rows
I am REALLY excited to get started this morning with stage 1 :) I just have a question about the seated rows. From the illustrations in the book it looks like she's using an adjustable cable and sitting on the floor with a plate to keep her feet out enough? We do have one of those at the gym, but I've never seen anyone do…

Seated Row?
Good morning! I also posted this in the NROL4W group, but I'm not sure how active they are in the mornings. I'm starting NROL4W this morning and have a question about seated rows. In the book it looks like she's on an adjustable cable machine sitting on the floor and has a plate in front of her heels to keep her far enough…

What muscle is this?
I'm trying to figure out exactly what muscle I'm trying to target here so I can find some exercises to work it. It's the muscle in the back, just below your armpit. My arms (which are looking better and better) keep rubbing up against it and I would like to be able to work it to firm it up a bit so that when I lose the fat…

What are your favorite 300 calorie snacks?
I'm trying to plan out the rest of my day and I'm 300 calories short (I shoot for 1500 calories a day). I know fruit is always a good option, but 300 calories of fruit / veggies is a lot of food! What are your favorite snacks when you need to fill up the calories? Also hoping to find something lower in protein, I'm already…

How do you log?
So we've decided to fire up the grill for dinner tonight. I was starting to log when I realized I have no idea how to log marinade. It's not much, mainly spices, but I do have some oil, vinegar, and honey in there so I don't want to miss the calories. Do you just pick an amount (say 1 TBSP) and add that or is there a…

Rewards
So, I don't know about others on here, but a big reason I found myself needing to do a dietbet is because I LOVE rewarding myself with food. Nice dinners out especially where I am sure the calorie counts went up into the thousands. For me just the dietbet itself is a huge motivator / reward, but I was wondering what other…

What calorie deficit?
So I've read IPOARM, and have been trying to figure out where I need to keep my calories. I have a BodyMedia device (the Link). I feel that it's pretty accurate in tracking my calories, I've compared it to my Polar FT4 when exercising and they're really close and I can tell when I am more active and the calories burned…

Creamy Soup Base
I've been working on this for awhile and think I've finally gotten my creamy soup base where I want it so I thought I would share the recipe. In 2T melted butter (or olive oil, but I like butter for the flavor) saute 1 chopped onion, 3 cloves of garlic, 2 chopped carrots, 2 stalks chopped celery for a couple of minutes.…

Accuracy of HRM?
So I just got my new HRM yesterday and of course went to the gym first thing to try it out. Does anyone know how accurate the calorie burn on these things is? I worked out for just over an hour, mainly the elliptical and spinning bike and it said I burned 607 calories. That seems really high to me, could that be right?…

Breastfeeding and MFP
Just wondering if anyone can give me some advice on incorporating breastfeeding into the MFP lifestyle. I used it before I got pregnant with a lot of success, and now am trying to lose the baby weight, plus the extra lbs I had before I got pregnant. I was waiting to see if the nursing alone would be enough because I know…
