Am I weighing this wrong?
So I've been using a food scale for some time now with no problems. However, I've got a product that's got me stumped and I wanted some input to make sure I'm actually weighing this correctly. I've got some ice cream and on the tub it says one serving is 1/2 cup (150 ml). Here are my issues with that. Ice cream isn't a…

Tracking B12
Does anyone know of a way to track the amounts of B12 they’re getting from their foods the same way we can with protein, sugar, etc? I’ve just gotten results back that show I’m severely B12 deficient (not veggie or vegan), so on top of a supplement my doctor suggested I also try to up my consumption of B12 rich foods. I’ve…

Pushy Co-Workers
Looking for some help to handle a bit of a sticky situation. Our work is ordering in for a mandatory "celebration lunch" (yes, attendance is mandatory, don't ask) for all of the employees in our location. We're all expected to put in our order to the chain restaurant they've chosen. But I'd rather bring my own lunch and…

Relief for DOMS
Since I've started really getting into lifting, I've noticed that I'm experiencing some pretty decent soreness in the days after working out, mostly in my arms (they're definitely my biggest weak point). It's not so much of a physical pain thing, as I don't mind and will workout even if I'm sore. But I've noticed it's…

I've got a great set of tunes lined up for when I do my runs, but they all seem to upbeat or fast-paced for my lifting days. What's on everyone else's lifting playlists?

Saggy abs?
This is more of an 'out of general curiosity' question than anything. But a friend and I were discussing our progress the other day and I mentioned how I was kind of bummed that I wasn't losing from my midsection faster as I used to have quite nice abs and was very in shape before the University experience robbed me of…

TDEE and Weight Loss
So I've been logging here for just over a month now (yay!) and have seen some good results, 5lbs down so far. However, I have some questions that I was hoping some of the more veteran MFP'ers could help me with. I'm fairly certain I'm following the TDEE method properly and trying to keep all of my levels within an…

Bench Press Issues
So I've started Stronglifts and am LOVING it. However, it's made me notice something (particularly when doing the bench press). My left arm is way weaker than my right. I understand that this is not an uncommon issue, but how do I correct this? Do some extra lifts with just the left arm or just keep benching the same…

HRM Accuracy
I'm posting because I'm wondering if my new HRM is faulty. It's told me I've burned a total of 1,437 calories today between day one of the C25K program I did this morning along with about 45 minutes of weight lifting, and then I took my dog for a hike of just over an hour after. And yes I did stop the monitor after each…

Lifting and Running
I need some expert advice here as I'm having some newbie issues. I recently started doing the C25K running program and I'm loving it so far! I've never really been much into cardio but for some reason this program is just clicking with me right now and it feels great. However, I've been inspired by all of the lovely ladies…

Running question
I've been running for a few months now and have a specific issue I'm wondering if anyone has ever also had or maybe knows the cause/solution? About 10-15 minutes into the run I start to get a pain in my back between my shoulder blades when I breathe in deeply. I don't think it's anything serious, but it's definitely…

Breakfast recipes
Hi All! I'm lacking inspiration for healthy breakfast ideas and was wondering what everyone else usually had for breakfast. I'm not really a breakfast person, as eating in the morning tends to make me sick to my stomach, but I know how important the meal is so I've been trying to ease myself into it with shakes, smoothies…

Heart Rate Monitors?
Hi All :) I'm looking for a heart rate monitor with some specific abilities and figured what better place to ask than here? I was looking into buying a Fitbit Flex band for it's 24/7 monitoring purposes and because the data handily goes to an app to track it, but I've been told they're not all that reliable in counting…
