Question RE:calories vs. awake time
Does the amount of calories vary for those who are awake less hours vs those who are up for more? For instance, Im usually awake by 4 am and to bed by 10 pm. Do I need more calories vs someone who is up at 8am and to bed by 9pm? TY :)

Treadmill tip I found
http://walking.about.com/od/treadmillworkouts/a/treadmillhold.htm Thought maybe some would find it interesting :)

walking outside vs treadmill
I do 3 miles on the treadmill at 3mph or a little more for an hour. I went outside and walked 2.7 miles at a good clip and Im more tired doing that..Its mainly flat with a few little inclines..do you think I burned more calories walking outside? My legs certainly got more tired (it was entirely on hot top).

Dr Oz is a putz.
Had the TV on in the background and he continued the myth about eating before bed. "Those who eat their calories at night put on weight". He failed to mention if you are within your calorie range or not. Of course, if you ate your allotment of calories by 6pm and at 8 pm you eat 500 more calories, you will gain. But it…

One dumb question, coming up!
Does your BMR vary if you are hot or cold? What I mean is, if you are sweating while doing nothing in 100 degree heat or you are freezing while doing nothing outside at 0 degrees..does your BMR change? Do you burn more during one or the other? Does shivering or sweating play a role?
