Excess Protien
First off, I have always been told that "excess" protein is a bad thing to have in your diet because any that is not synthesized will turn into fat....- I read somewhere (and it makes sense to me) that as long as you don't go over your caloric goals, that "excess" protein wont turn into fat...

Protien Supplements
Do Whey Protien supplements impede weight loss?

Nutrition numbers questions

Question about calories burned during exercise
Do the lists of calories burned by doing cardiovascular exercises take into account calories burned during "normal" activity? For the sake of example, Lets say I burn 100 calories/hr at a resting position. When I exercise for an hour, the myfitnesspal website says I burn 500 calories. Have I actually only burned an…
