Garmin HRM (bike) calorie accuracy?
I have one of the Garmin 500 Edge cycle computers, with the premium heart rate monitor straps. I was wondering how accurate they tend to be. Today, I did a fairly easy paced 30 miles (15mph)...

Anyone from the UK - looking for some nutritional info
I'm visiting the UK (London) for the first time, and I was totally sucked in by a window sign for a meat pie and a pint of Fuller's for 10 pounds outside the Fullers Ale House.... I couldn't say no... Any idea on how many calories one of those things has? It was a chicken chorizo meat pie... I could estimate the filling,…

How much sugar is typical?
So... I'm looking at my weekly diary, and I've consistently exceeded the "goal" (not by a lot mind you) which is 30g out of 1550 calories... Doesn't that seem a little bit low? One apple and you are slightly over half way there. I also found I have been very low on the potassium front... Unfortunately, many good potassium…
