sedentary vs lightly active calorie gain question
Ok this is something i still don't quite understand.... MFP's intention is to eat back your calories right? I know people do different things... but assuming that's the intention... If you change your lifestyle from sedentary to lightly active your calorie allowance will go up right? But why is that so? I'm just really…

How about the…

Muscle VS fat question...
So i understand that muscle is denser than fat and that a 150 pound person with no muscle will look bigger than a 150 pound with muscle. Why then are there people who have major muscles that still weigh very little... like Jillian Michaels? She said she weighs around 120 pounds i think.. or 115 and her arms are huge! Also…

So me and my brother are having a debate.... There is the well known phrase: "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink:" my brother is saying that you can make him drink and i am saying you can't. His reasoning is that if you deprive the horse of water for a year (and it somehow is not dead) and lead it…
