Recommend a good Turkey bacon
Notice I say turkey bacon. I'm not much of a bacon eater, but the turkey bacon I actually like. HOWEVER, there's added sugar or fake sugar. Is there one out there that's fairly good for me, but doesn't have weird sugars? Also, i like it uncured because I'd rather not have the nitrates and nitrites added either. Am I…

Calculating Calories Burned on HRM
How do I figure out calories burned on an HRM that's really basic? The one I'm borrowing (I'm too cheap to buy new) is heart rate only and does not measure things like distance run/walked or calories used. I don't even really know what formula to use to calculate this. Does anyone have a good resource for figuring this…

Question for the Nutritionists
If I were to dump some protein powder into a cup of coffee, would this negate the effects of the protein? What does heat or caffeine do to the whey protein powder? What about a cold coffee? Is there any kind of chemical breakdown that happens? I've read that vitamin C can't be absorbed if it's exposed to heat, so no…

Do you measure the size of your chicken breast? Your olive oil? Your ego? Your courage compared to your previous life? Tell me, what do you measure?

Cheat Meal - Workout Day or Rest Day
I'm curious to hear what day of the week or month do you choose your cheat meal? I'm also really interested to hear from the weight training fans out there. Do you have a cheat meal or cheat day on the day you lift, or on a rest day? I'm planning mine in my head cause I've been craving something really starchy and full of…

Oats, Oatmeal, steel cut
Start out by saying I grew up on oatmeal and absolutely hated it. So, as I like to think I'm evolved and open minded, I'm willing to give it one more shot. What kind of steel cut oats can I mix with hot water and not have it turn to mush? Can they be mixed I. With yogurt or does it have to be cooked. I've heard u can get…

18.8, b*tches!
:) Today is a new victory for me as I got my body fat percentage measured and it was 18.8! I'm pretty happy with it...and in the parlance of our times*, 18.8 B*ITCHES!!! I'm still working toward getting leaner especially through the stomach and upper thighs. I grew up being athletic, but have never had my fat measured.…

Bnging and beating myself up
Today for the first time in a long while (more than 50 days) I went on a "screw you, I'm eating the worst possible thing I can think of" kind of binge. I wasn't hungry and I ate two large cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. This was about an hour and a half after a fairly healthy lunch. It was total rebellion. I asked the…
