Random Thoughts on Calories Burned
What has always baffled me are these websites where you scroll down to the exercise you did, add the minutes you did it and it tells you the calories you burned.

CARB Confusion
I found this article and thought I would share it with you all. I stated in another forum that when I eat 800-900 cals per day, I have good weightloss...when I bump it up to 1200 (which is still below my BMR and yes, I know, not good for me) I gain. So I began to think...hey ...maybe its the amount of Carbs Im…

Consistently Low Calories
ok...so the BMR says I should have 1330 cals per day. For about 4-5 days now I have been under 1000 cals per day and felt full and fine, although when its time for a meal or a snack it's TIME! I guess what I am asking is this: 1. If my BMR is 1330 cals...should I be deducting 500 cals per day to lose one pound per week? 2.…

PRE AND POST WORK OUT "MUST" EATS
I firmly believe that Strength/Weight Training is the way to go . A resting BMR that eats up alot of fat calories for fuel by way of lean muscle mass is the ticket. Resting one pound of fat will burn 2-3 cals per hour; a pound of lean muscle will burn 30-36 cals per pound per hour. Something to think about thats for sure.…
