Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein Powder NOT for wei
I was wondering if why Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Protein Powder says do not use for weight loss. I did a little bit of research on protein drinks and this is the only one that I recall saying don't use for weight loss. I was using store brand whey and soy protein to supplement my diet and was losing that way. I…

Anybody ride a motorcycle?
Today it is close to 60 degrees and windy. I work 4-10 tonight. It is supposed to be 43 tonight with only about 10mph wind. Would I be crazy to ride to work tonight? I don't have chaps and the only gloves I have are either thinsulate winter gloves, or my offroad dirt bike gloves. I figure the adrenaline will keep me warm?

I kept smelling and ammonia like smell when I would come inside after running. I discovered it was me. I read that ammonia is excreted through your sweat when your body burns amino acids for fuel.

Vanity Sizing
Went to buy new pants today. I've been a 16 for most of my life. I knew they were big on me, but still assumed 14 would be a little tight. 14s were too big, and the 12s fit rather well. This should make me happy, right? It doesn't. I'm actually somewhat angry. I want to be able to say that I am the smallest that I have…

Protein drink as breakfast

I know that each time you eat, your metabolism increases for a while; but does it work the same way with drinking. I have been eating a piece of fruit with my morning protein drink and want to know if it is necessary to consume the…

Digital Food Scale
If I am counting calories, I want to ensure I am accurately measuring a serving. I purchased a dial scale, but it is difficult to read and does not have a relative scale for what I need to measure. Does anyone have an opinion on an economical DIGITAL scale?

MFP has put me on a 1200 calorie a day plan. I am always hungry because of it. I am looking for foods that might help me feel more filled. I am a super picky eater, so it is rather difficult.
