Calories and Macros not adding up? Here's probably why.
I see this question come up often enough on the forums it seems a sticky is in order. The question often goes something like this: There are a few reason why this happens. The most common ones are:* Errors in the database. There are many entries with incomplete (e.g. the entry only has calories and no macros) or incorrect…

Research Methodology Problems in Sports Science
Not so much a debate, but really something that seemed applicable and of interest to many in this forum who follow and even perform research. Some here who are already aware of some of the limitations and issues in sports science research (and not unique to this field by far!). It doesn't address some of the other issues…

Anyone feeling like a protein shake?
NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE... Out of the two, I'd take the cricket. It's gotta be closer to real meat than whatever is in a Slim Jim.

Limitations of HRM Calorie Counts - A Real Life Data Point
HRMs are often relied upon to get the most "accurate" calorie counts, but it's important to know their limitations. Azdak has made some excellent posts on the limitations and the reasons, and I recommend searching for his posts if you'd like more background on the subject. In summary, they are not accurate for low…

Worst Christmas Present
What is the worst Christmas present you've received or given/seen someone receive? I don't think I've ever received a truly terrible present. The worst I received was an XM radio car kit. I had a really short drive to work (5 minutes) so there was no point in paying a subscription for radio that I would barely listen to,…

The horrors of how the McRib is made
I really want one right now in my mouth. edit: I'm a little sad to see this is what Grant Imahara has been reduced to after Mythbusters cut the B team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJoMzhStPNk

Little Caesar's Pretzel Crust Pizza. Genius or bleh?
I'm all for some crazy junk food like a Luther burger or the KFC Double Down, but I don't even think this even sounds good. The pizza sauce has been replaced with that nacho cheese sauce that you get for convenience store nachos. http://www.thrillist.com/eat/nation/little-caesar-s-pretzel-crust-pizza-taste-test

Recovery Time Between Races
Background: I currently run about 25 miles per week (varies from 20-30 mpw), with an 8-13 mile long run, and did my first 1/2 marathon and a Spartan Beast this year. My next goal after those two races was to set a new 5k PR. Haven't done a 5k race in about a year. There is an awesome looking trail half that I just found…

Guise HELP! Coworker brought in donuts for boss's day!
And they are the good kind too! I've already succumbed and had one, and I think another is on it's way to my mouth. What's the proper way to thank her?

Zero Calorie Ben and Jerry's!
I've figured out how I can eat as much Ben and Jerry's ice cream i want without having to worry about the calories! If a serving is less than 5 calories, the USDA allows it to be zero calories per serving (a la the zero calorie oil sprays). The Ben and Jerry's nutrition label will now read as such: Serving Size: 1/3…

Not Single and Want to Be
This is the appropriate way to notify her, right? I mean, it has been almost 9 years, I should probably do better than to just ignore her calls until she gets the message.

This is what maintenance looks like
And this is the reason why maintenance and your goal weight should always be a range, not a number. These are my weigh-ins for the past month and a half, including a 5.8 lb swing in 3 days. All of these weigh-ins were taken first thing in the morning the day after lifting so they would be consistent as possible. If I…
