I got my diet and workout plan set to lose body fat, but have a question about the workout...
I started a bet that whoever lost the most amount of body fat in 3 months wins money. We haven't started and I doubt the other person is going to do it so I'm on my own to figure this out. I got a routine from some body building website & got my calories, 40% protein 40% carb 20% fats all calculated. The workout is 3 days…

Nutrition Labels: cooked vs uncooked & serving per container vs what you actually get.
Yesterday, I bought this frozen casserole stuff and the nutrition label says Serving Size: 1 Cup, Servings Per Container: 5. 270 cals per serving.

Non critical injury and exercise
OK I need advice. I've hurt my neck (not work out related) and it's been really stiff for the past two weeks and it won't go away. I worked out last week while it was stiff, but I only did the treadmill for an hour instead of lifting weights until it felt better then I only did about 10 -15 lb weights. I was OK for about 3…

Bar Food
Anyone have suggestions on the healthiest thing to order when you're at a bar? I like to order food when I feel like I'm getting buzzed/drunk too quickly (I'm a light weight with alcohol) and I always order cheese sticks because I have a general idea of how many calories are in the cheese sticks. I'm not thrilled with the…
