Calories in Lentils? Why so different among brands?
I've been using Iberia lentils in my soups, the label says there are 70 calories in 1/4 cup dry. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Iberia-Lentils-16-Oz/19400114 But when I look at other brands, the calories can be more then double! https://www.amazon.com/365-Everyday-Value-Organic-Lentils/dp/B074J5WZN1 I'm starting to wonder if…

Calorie needs on super long days (it's 2pm and I don't have many calories left)
So. What to do on really long days? I couldn't sleep last night, tossed and turned. Finally got up around 5am since I had a special training to go to, the alarm was set for 6. I was hungry, drank a glucerna. Made my normal smoothie and drank it on the way to the training. I was hungry again by 10:30, ate 2 mini Danish, no…

I was just browsing the blog and went from an article about HIIT to this one about heart rates and being in a "fat burning" zone.

How realistic is my Fitbit/MFP calorie burn today?
I just want to make sure I'm not one of those people that gains weight due to overestimation of calorie burn. I'm 50, female, 5'5" and 165.8 was my last lowest weight a couple of days ago. MFP is set to sedentary. I've started cycling again. Today I did 8.93 miles, avg speed 9.32mph for 57.21 minutes (one speed bike, half…

Calorie goal help?
OK so I'm trying, again. When I last did this last year I lost 20lbs, and then my calorie goal of 1200 hit with a vengeance in the form of a magnesium deficiency. I guess I wasn't eating enough, or the right things. To stay nutritionally balanced. I now take supplements and my body has recovered. I started back with…

"Remember your dreams are as hungry as your demons. Make sure you're feeding the right ones." I just wanted to pass that on from another MFP member. :-)

Dislocated rib, intercostal muscle strain
Anyone ever have this? I dislocated a rib about a week and a half ago. I got it popped back in a few days later before I even realized ribs could dislocate, I thought it was just muscle strain. Anyway, struggling with the strained muscles now, was doing better, then while cycling tonight I must have been more tense because…

how to get fit when exhausted?
This is new for me. Typically to lose weight and get fit in the past, all I had to do is be a little careful about portion control and up my exercise. I exercised either with any one of the myriad of workout videos I have or walking or biking. My problem now is that my job requires 40 plus hours standing with light…

Garmin Forerunner 15 HRM for swimming?
Does anyone here use the device for swimming laps? Specs say its waterproof to 5 meters but the most info and reviews I'm seeing are all skewed to runners. I just joined a gym with a pool and plan on doing laps, looking for an HRM that will aid me in judging my heart rate and calorie burn.

Anyone else find it odd...
humorous, ironic...that one of the main banners switching around on the top of the page is one for a $2 McDonalds cheeseburger? I know MFP probably doesn't have control over that.

Low cost, preprepped, under 300 calorie lunch
Just thought I'd post about my lunch. The past few months I've started making my own frozen lunches. I make enough in one batch to have 21 lunches. I just finished this one! I buy bulk chicken breast, pan simmer in spices and broth, sweet potato, corn, green beans, gravy. The whole thing is less than 300 calories and $2.50…

Low calorie snack ideas
Someone had to start it! I like to take fresh veggies and dip them in a dip of plain greek yogurt with hidden valley ranch dip mix. Makes it a high protein dip. A small piece of fruit and one ounce low fat cheese is another go to for me. If I want the carbs and fiber I have 6 triscuts with that ounce of low fat cheese.…

Arms of Steel DVD - review
I'd been looking for a "just arms" video. I have a gazillion cardio, cardio mixed with weights, all over body routines, but just wanted to settle in for now on JUST cardio on one day and arms and chest on the next, then alternate. After looking all over the internet and reading review after review, the general opinion…
