Calories in chicken breast - so much discrepency
Hi, I used the site a few years back and lost 20kg and got to my goal weight (haven't been on for a few years). My wife just started using it to try lose some weight and I have been helping her log her food. I have found a lot of the foods now are really poorly quality controlled (i.e. the amount of calories for what…

Original goal weight reached, 11kg gone (22yo male)
Hopefully the photos work... So I started this website at 86kg and set an arbitrary goal of 75kg (not knowing what this would actually look like). Today I jumped on the scales and was 74.7 kg so have finally reached the goal. I can definitely see improvement and am stoked with progress, however there is still some fat to…

Completed C25K and first 5k event!
Hey, Completed the program on 19th September (my birthday), with 30minute run. However I don't think I actually did 5km. Then on 30th September I did a Surf to Surf at Mt Maunganui, New Zealand and my official time for the 5km run was 29:26. Stoked with getting in under 30! The C25K program is really awesome, glad I did it.

Finished C25K (or rather C2 30mins)
Finished the program on 19th September. Definitely recommend it to everyone it was very good at getting me from never doing running to running for 30minutes. I however don;t think I ran 5km and probably more like 4-4.5 in the 30 mins. Have registered for a 5km city to surf run in 1 weeks time.. should be interesting.

Week 8 is hard... to stop running!
So I started week 8 yesterday. As the title says, when the app tells you to stop running after 28minutes it is very hard to stop from running for 2 more minutes to finally reach the 30minute mark! So by the end of the week I should be finished this program, although I will consider myself having finished C2 30mins as I…

Avoiding hills from now on!
Hi, So I just started week 2 today. I mapped out a good looking route on walkrunjog.net which was about 3.3km. As I had just finished my 5min warm up I came to a really long hill, then the voice in my head said "begin running"... This almost made me fail W2D1, my abs were screaming at me and the 2min rest intervals were…

Flexibility Equiv of 30DS and C25K?
Hi, So I am doing the C25K program to try get into running (up to W4D3). I havn't looked into 30 day shred and probably won't but just using it as an example. Does anyone know if there are any programs built similar to these that will help build me some flexibility? I can't even get close to touching my toes bending…

Fat burn button on machine - told me to slow down?
Hi, So usually I just do quick start and chose a level on the bike or elliptical. Once I was about 5minutes in I pushed the 'fat burn' button to see what it would change and it told me to slow down to reduce my heart rate. I usually just go reasonably hard out and get HR to ~170-180 which does fall into the cardio instead…

Easiest way to log custom recipes such as sauces
Hi, So today on my wrap I had some red wine sauce that I made earlier in the week. It uses onions, wine, sugar, garlic, paprika, salt etc. What is the easiest way to log something like this? Is it best to go through the database and add the right amounts of each ingredient to say dinner, then save it as a meal (then delete…

Finished first day of c25k

Hopefully I can keep it up and do the whole 8 weeks. Also went out and bought 1) measuring tape, 2) food scales, and 3) journal today so…

I am just wondering how to log…

Oats-Banana-Milk Smoothie: Good breakfast?
Hi, I have always struggled to stomach food in the morning so eating breakfast is a pain. I do really enjoy smoothies and someone told me to put oats in it and it will make me feel fuller. Is this a suitable breakfast to eat pretty much every day? Is there anything important lacking? 1/4C Oats 1/2C Milk (reduced 1.5% fat)…
