Bony to Beastly... A Scam?
I just heard good things about this program called Bony to Beastly. If you look at the "transformations" page of the website, it shows a bunch of skinny guys who gained a massive amount of weight in a short amount of time, while seemingly keeping their body fat low. The thing is that the program costs $200! What are your…

Did MFP Start Deleting Entries?
Did MFP start deleting entries that you haven't used in a while? For example, I used to have 4 pages full of "breakfast" foods and now I only have 2. This is very frustrating, because there are foods that I eat very rarely, but would like them to still be saved.

Raw Onion Versus Cooked Onion Weight
I cooked pork meatballs tonight and I just realized that I have no idea how many grams of onion is in each meatball, as the weight of onion largely decreases after cooking. So should I just pretend that I didn't eat any onion tonight? For example, if I ate a meatball that weighed 150 grams, then I should just log 150 grams…

Glute Imbalance and Scapular Winging
Hey guys, Ever since the start of 2015, I've been trying to fix my glute imbalance and scapular winging, but to no avail. Long story short, when I descend during the squat, my body shifts towards the right, and when I ascend, I feel my right glutes and quads doing the brute of the work. Therefore, I have a weakness in the…

Minor Chest Pain After Vaccine?
So I got my first shot on Saturday evening (it's currently Monday evening) and my chest has been hurting all day (only a 1 or 2 out of 10 on the pain scale). Just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same symptom, and if so, for how long? P.S. I have a phone call with my doctor tomorrow, but am very anxious right…

Cooling shrimp in oil
Hey guys, I just used 30 grams of oil to cook some shrimp. However, I only ate about 1/3rd of the shrimp weight (because most of it was shell, which I threw away). Therefore, should I just enter 10 grams of oil in my food diary?

Should Intermediate Lifters Exercise 4+ Times a Week?
Let's say that you've been running a beginner's workout routine for quite some time now and have made some good gains. Should you continue to do full body workouts 3x a week or should you switch to a program that requires you to workout at least 4x a week?

Cooked Pork Chops
Which part of the pork loin are pork chops cut from? The blade end, center rib, center loin, or sirloin end? I'm just a bit overwhelmed because I cooked boneless pork chops for dinner and when I searched for "cooked pork chop" in the USDA database, it comes up with like 100 different entries. Like there's one for "top…

White Spot Nutrition Incorrect?
Today I ordered fish and chips from White Spot. According to their online nutrition guide, 1 piece of fish is 101 grams and only contains 106 calories. However, after eating 2 pieces, I already began to feel quite full, so I decided to weigh the last piece just to see how much it actually weighed. And guess what? It…

Extreme fatigue the day after exercising?
I went kayaking on Tuesday and hiking yesterday. Needless to say, I feel extremely fatigued today (both mentally and physically). I already slept 9 hours, but all I feel like doing is sleeping more. However, I obviously can't fall asleep as I only woke up 6 hours ago, so all I've been doing is lying on the sofa and doing…

How many grams of oil in my yakisoba?
Hey guys, I just ordered a beef yakisoba from the sushi restaurant. It consists of 100 grams cooked beef, and 400 grams cooked noodles/veggies (so 500 grams total). How many grams of oil do you guys think is in that entire 500 grams?
-
How many grams of broth did I consume?
Today, I ordered a bowl of udon from the sushi restaurant. I weighed the entire bowl and then after I ate it, I weighed the bowl with the leftover soup in it and subtracted that number from the original weight. The end result was 543 grams. But obviously, I didn't consume 543 grams of udon, because the udon must've soaked…
-
More carbs > More fat?
The consensus here on MFP seems to be that macros don't matter, as long as you're consuming enough protein and hitting your caloric goal. So eat at a moderate caloric surplus (as to not gain too much fat), consume enough protein (at least 1 gram per body weight lb) and then get the rest from fat and carbs. It doesn't…
-
What micronutrients do you track and why?
Unfortunately, MFP only allows you to track 5 nutrients. Right now, I have my settings set to track: carbs, fats, protein, sugar, and fiber. However, lately I've been reading about the negative effects of consuming too much sodium and saturated fat. So I've been thinking about removing sugar and fiber and tracking sodium…

How many grams of teriyaki glaze in my noodlebox?
How many grams of teriyaki glaze do you think is in my teriyaki noodle box? The store said they use 250 grams of noodles and 80 grams of chicken, but they don't measure the sauce. They said they squeeze about "2 rings of sauce around the wok," enough to cover all of the noodles. I know it's quite a bit, but I'm not sure…

Sleeping 9-10 hours a day?
I have a dilemma: I love sleep. For as long as I can remember, I've always been a night owl who can sleep for what seems like an eternity. Most of the time, I need at least 9-10 hours of sleep to function at my best. And this honestly sucks. Think about it: if a "regular" person can function well on only 7-8 hours of sleep…

Are Ribs More Protein or More Fat?
I ate a half rack of baby back ribs from one of my favourite restaurants tonight and I was wondering: are ribs more protein or more fat? According to another restaurant in my area, a half rack of baby back ribs is 610 calories, 33 fat, and 52 protein (more protein than fat). But if you go onto the USDA database, 100 grams…

Sirloin steak in beef teriyaki rice bowl
I had a beef teriyaki rice bowl from my favourite sushi restaurant today and the waitress told me that they used sirloin steak. Which USDA entry should I use for the sirloin steak? I've attached a picture of what my meal looked like. As you can see, the steak was very thinly sliced.
