Free hotel breakfast buffets
I am forced to eat at these types of buffets at least a couple of days a week, and often times that is the last food for about 8 hours. I was wondering about the nutritional content of the scrambled eggs. Are they real? Hotel people? How do you log them? I found this article:…

Logging special burns from arm bands
Today I did some specific hard physical work and according to my body bugg I burned a total of 954 calories during that 240 minute period. It is not going to be in the exercise database because it was demolishing a floor and removing the waste. I already had burned about 450 on a morning dog walk previous. Any suggestions…

inflammation
As a formerly very fit person, I have been hitting the gym hard for the past 10 days after a 3-4 month hiatus. My muscles are returning to their memory and causing me to feel very fat. I know I gained body fat, but this is odd. I am at or under my calorie goals every day and I log. Any ideas how long can I expect this?

Those who travel with lunch box...
I travel for a living 4 days away a week and find that condiments really spice up the lunch box. Since you cannot put mustard or fat free mayo on a sandwich 3 days in advance, anyone know where to purchase good packets of condiments? Like salad dressings, mustard, hot sauce, fat free mayo, etc... I keep a running stash but…

Message to Women From a Man: "You Are Not "Crazy"
Copied from Huntington post to my Women friends out there... You're so sensitive. You're so emotional. You're defensive. You're overreacting. Calm down. Relax. Stop freaking out! You're crazy!

I am serious here, my mother is early 70"s. Friday she told me she woke to find her front door had been egged... I didn't hear from her yesterday morning, so last night I called to check on her and I asked if she found out how to clean up the egg and she was very upset with me. I asked what was going on and she flat out…

Protien shake hygiene
How long is a protein shake made at home in the blender and then stored in the fridge good? What are your personal shake practices? I like making a few servings the regular blender, and storing in the fridge in the blender for later use that day of the next. The sides of the blender get a film on them, and I know when you…

New to HIIT - training schedule
The last two days I started the HIIT training sessions and I totally love it! I am wondering what a good training routine for this type of cardio is.
