Insanity Questions
I've read about lots of people doing insanity here but never looked into what it is. Now that I've googled it I have a few questions if people wouldn't mind enlightening me/giving their own opinions. 1) Do you need lots of space at home to do the moves justice? (ie is an average sized front room going to cut it?) 2) Do you…

Calories in Berries
I just had 225g of Blackberries for breakfast. MFP says that is 97 calories. It has many confirmations. The label on the box says it would be 63 calories. Huge difference. There are similar disparities between MFP and hte supermarket labels for raspberries and blueberries. Which would you trust??

DVDs - can they really work?
I live a 25 minute drive from my gym (and that is the nearest) and work very long hours so getting to the gym becomes a real challenge in busy times. I have a lot of home gym equipment but I like classes and get bored. So I looked at DVDs. Now, I don't know if the problem is a) my front room size (average bur not massive),…

The Myth of Starvation Mode?
What are people's thoughts on this? MFP seems to assume that starvation mode is a fact. I can accept it for extreme deficits but was unconvinced by the desperate need to NET 1200 as opposed to just eat 1200. There's a lot out there to argue with starvation mode. How are you supposed to know what's true? Some examples:…

Ugh, does anyone do this? (gross)
Okay, so I just chewed up and spat out an entire Easter Egg. I guess I figured it was way fewer calories (no idea how many!) and I still got the taste of it. I used to do this a lot but haven't for ages. Anyone else ever done this? I want to know how weird and disgusting I am. Obviously I didn't do it in public!

Running pain?
I am a 6-7 day a week exercise person but it's almost always in the gym and via group classes (dance, aerobics, combat, weights and the like). Failing that I cycle, I am NOT a runner. But this morning, following a sleepless night, disappointment on the scales and knowing that I can't go to the gym for two days I went for…

Jacket Potatoes
For people that eat these which of the multiple options do you select when you log them?? There are values in the database for small-medium potatoes that range from 83 calories to 281 calories!! That makes a serious difference. I've just picked one that says 110 because I did have in my head that 120 was about right for a…

Need help with carbs
I've never used a calorie site that counted carbs before and I'm finding it really hard to stay within the 165g that it allows me without dropping way way below 1200 calories. Yesterday (my first day defecting from nutracheck) I had 449 calories leftover but only 10g carbs and today I had 455 calories left over but only 9g…
