Phenylketonuria / Phenylalanine
I was told many years a go, as a young child, that I needed to be aware of items containing Phenylalanine. Of course getting sick the first time was not enough to convince me, no no no!

Calories calculated vs Individuality
I am thinking that a person that weighs 400 pounds and a person that weights 200 pounds walk up the same flight of stairs the number of calories burned would be different as they each carry different weight, not to mention the individual person puts their own pizazz on doing something.
