quest bars vs. protein powder
So i went into my local nutrishop today, and the guy asked me when I eat my questbars. He shook my head at me when I said after my workout, and told me I should only look at them as a snack item or a meal replacement. Since I'm trying to build lean muscle I should stick to a protein shake. He gave me some samples of forza…

Changed up work out and now I'm always hungry?
Ok, so I'm beyond confused right now. Previously I would work out 6 days a week doing 40 minutes on the elliptical and eat around 1350 calories a day. This worked for a long time and eventually I just stalled out because it wasnt physically challenging anymore. I changed my routine to doing the elliptical every other day…

Frame Size
I was wondering if anyone else gives credit to the idea that frame size should really impact how much we weigh? I'm having a hard time deciding how much I should weigh because MFP is telling me that it should be 132, but several other websites are saying closer to 140 because I have a large frame. According to MFP i'm…

TMI...but it is a serious question.
Recently I have started notice that my urine smells sweet after working out. It normally smells like ammonia afterwards, but the sweet smell is new. I hydrate really well and it's still mostly clear. I have been using protein powder (and the bars) for the past week, and that is when the smell started. Could this be causing…

How long should I work out?
So here's my question of the hour? Is it ok to break my one hr daily work out into two sessions? I like working out but its hard for me to get more than half an hr done at a time. Usually a half hr in the morning and another half hr in the late afternoon. I also add in somewhere bt two or three half hr walk during the day…

Elliptical Ppl. How do you do your work out?
HI! As I'm sure you can tell my workout of choice is my afg elliptical. I do it on a ten percent grade and the resistance at 3 for 1.5 miles, then 5 for half a mile, 4 for a quarter mile and then 5 for another quarter mile. Then I'm back down to 3 for my last half mile. This takes me 30 to 35 minutes. Do you think this is…

However during the last three years I was taking care of my terminally ill grandmother, and due to me having to watch her 24/7, being depressed abt the situation and no longer feeling the need to take care of myself i gained abt fifty…
