A yoga class is not a yoga class is not a yoga class....
Calling all yogis. I've been meaning to wear my HRM to yoga class to find my actual burn in my vinyasa and ashtanga classes but after finally unearthing it I realize it needs new batteries. Who out there has worn an HRM during a vinyasa class? How long was the class and what was your burn? MFP only gives me 175 calories…

Weighing food
I have been weighing my meats after they are cooked and just read that they should be weighed before! Ruh roh. Anyone have any idea how much caloric variance there is in say a chicken breast weighed at 4 oz after cooking? I plan on weighing today and calculating it.

Hello all, Please only people who are on this diet or who have eaten this way reply. I'm wondering what brought you to this type of diet/eating style and if it is the "only way" you lose weight.

My question is, does it then take your intended workout and factor it into your needed calories? Or is it just there…
