Is their a recommended dosage of sodium that one should stick to when trying to 'lose weight'? I have heard a few different schools of thought, curious to hear what you all think. If it helps - I'm 6ft 2 - 285lbs (male - 30). Not sure if any of those factors calculate in :) Kind regards, Ben

How does the Calorie Count work?
Ok, so maybe I'm just clinically retarded, but I can't figure out how to read this calorie count machine. ha. If my goal is 2,400 calories a day, but I work out for 2 1/2 hrs in the am and an hour at night, burning about 2000 calories a day on average, what number should I be shooting for? For instance, after all my food…
