seasonal weight cycles ?

Cell Biology Questions
My understanding may be wrong and I'd like to know what is right > Nerve and brain cells are finite, once broken never repair or replicate > Skin cells are constantly being replaced with new ones.

I'd previously got some seemingly good information from this post: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10663833/cell-biology-questions It made me sad that the reality was my genetics and early childhood development locked me into a lifetime with a lot of fat cells, be they full or empty, but OK I'll deal with…

Uneaten Frying Oil
I just fixed a recipe that fried 4 burgers in 2 tbsp of coconut oil. when I finished most of the oil remained in the pan. Should I just take the calorie hit for all the oil or reduce it for logging? In a past life I would make gravy from it, but I've developed an allergy to gravy...it makes me fat.

nutrient deficiency side effects?
I'm eating under my manly minimum of 1200 cal per day. MFP discourages me from doing so with a warning about "nutrient deficiency side effects".

Does HRM calories subtract BMR?
I recently began using a Polar FT7 heart rate monitor (HRM) that tells me I burn 500 calories in an hour on the treadmill. The basic metabolism rate (BMR) tool here tells me my BMR is 91 calories per hour. During the hour on the treadmill did I actually burn 500 calories more than my BMR or does the 500 include the 91 I…

Are your pants falling down?
Either get colorful hiphop gangsta style boxers or fix it grandpa style. Wear suspenders under your shirt. It works great and no one knows. You'll get a lot more mileage from your XL wardrobe (I like the ones from Wmart that clip under belt instead of the alligator style clips) :laugh:

fixed number of fat cells in body?
Is it true? I heard long ago that the number of fat cells in my body is fixed at a very young age and that people like me blessed with a large number store fat easier.
