Satiety Index and Fullness Factor
I was trying to figure out whether satiety is something that is really individual or if there are some underlying general truths and i came across the satiety index and fullness factor. i really wanted to see if one macro was superior for fullness per calorie (spoiler alert - maybe not?) and went down the rabbit hole a…

what can i do with a broken toe?
obvious things are obviously out (running, elliptical, plank, ballet in toe shoes . . .) but other than upper body lifting, what is safe to do? i'm going to give it some time for the swelling to go down and i'm mostly concerned with the hit to my tdee since my walking is curbed: taking the dog out for shorter walks,…

Friends don't let friends take HCG
so, lately i have more and more friends who have started VLCDs, HCG and super restrictive elimination diets. i don't want to be pushy or discouraging, i want to be supportive, but it's really hard for me shut up and smile when they tell me that they hate missing out on everything but they've lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks and…

do DOMS always correlate to water retention?
hi all! so, after surgery recovery i'm back in the game. i had to deload of course but now that i'm increasing weights to the more difficult levels for me i've got the constant DOMS again. i know that DOMS aren't necessarily a sign of progress or an indicator of effort, etc. but are they always correlated with water…

my office chair is trying to kill me
lately, after about an hour of working, my glutes feel super sore sitting in my office chair. i walk around every hour and stretch (just a basic toe touch) but as soon as i'm back in the chair it's creeping back on me. i do a lot of squats and running so there's some tightness and soreness that i expect, but even after 3…

sudden jump in recorded activity
For the past 3 days my fitbit has been logging me at really high activity levels, on friday it clocked 142 minutes (at least half of that was tracked while i was sitting and playing cards) and when i sync it with mfp it's carrying over to 1,000 extra calories burned. Saturday I worked out for about 55 minutes and was…

Breaking parallel
Hi, I'm having trouble breaking parallel on my barbell squats. I have no problems doing it weightless, or with barbells even up to 45 pounds, but as soon as the bar goes on my back I can't do it. I was initially progressing on weight and thinking that breaking parallel would come in time but now I've deloaded to just the…

adding a recipe to a recipe
can it be done? i make homemade vegan mayo (even though i'm not vegan - because it has 22 calories) and i would like to be able to use that when i create recipes for egg salad or tuna salad. i realize that this is probably impossible, but anyone have a work around or quick add solution?

newbie questions - done the research, nervous as hell
i've read the pdf, the summary here, the faq, and watched the video of the entire A workout, but i still have questions, mostly because i'm starting today and i'm scared i'm gonna screw things up, embarrass myself and possibly drop a weight on my toes or my friend. i've posted in a few threads in the general boards but…

gentle exercises while recovering from a sprained knee
i'm worried about losing ground while i take it easy on my knee (and ankle and wrist) after an accident. can anyone recommend any exercises that are low impact but still give a good burn. so far i've been sticking to walking for the most part. I did kenpo-x a couple of times but i think i may be pushing my luck and setting…

yet another hrm discussion - yes, i know, i'm sorry
i'm looking for a hrm that is accurate (! most important !), affordable and that i can integrate into my day to day. i know that chest strap monitors are supposed to be the most accurate, but does anyone wear them all day? i want to track cardio workouts but also TDEE and steps from my commute. my phone currently syncs my…
