Walking calorie burn question
I've got my diet down to where, generally I'm nailing a good caloric intake based on what I thought I was burning -- basing my goal intake off of a couple sources, but mainly calculating my sedentary TDEE off of scoobysworkshop and eating my exercise, though that ends up being surprisingly close to the base mfp…

Super Mocha Oatmeal Power Smoothie
This is a power smoothie. I developed this as a post workout smoothie lunch to replace the store bought smoothie powder and a Clif Builder Bar I was eating for lunch. It is 622 calories, but can easily reduced by over 200 cals in various simple ways (see end of recipe). It's obviously designed to be very filling. This is a…

summer/heat question
So I've been running 6 miles a day (at 6mph) monday through friday for awhile w/o issue. I also do some sprints right before I start just to get the blood pumping.

is oatmeal twice a day too much?
I already have steel cut oats for breakfast. I'm developing a lunch smoothie to replace the pre-packaged one I currently use. I've been making/buying smoothies for decades, and generally bounce between making my own and using powders. For 'thickness', I'd prefer to use rolled oats over something like banana. (I find…

Total Body Works 5000 / Total Gym Style Workout Plan?
Does anyone know of a solid workout routine for one of these machines? I have the Total Body Works 5000, but it's essentially the same thing as the Chuck Norris Total Gym with slightly different settings, etc. I'm looking to do a solid upper body / core workout, not trying to get huge, just fit. However, right now, I'm…

anyone know of a good workout plan for a resistance machine?
I have access to limited equipment. Some hand weights, a pull up bar, the ground (push ups, etc), a treadmill, and a Weider Total Bodyworks 5000. My attempts to add an image failed, but you can easily google it. It's basically very similar to the Chuck Norris Total Gym thing. Multi-angle gliding board, pulleys, and…
