Leg cramps and exercise
Apologies if this isn't in the right section, but I am getting fed up of leg cramps. I have always suffered with them and when I mean suffered I mean suffered!! I scream the whole house down, can't bend my leg to get out of bed to put it on the cold floor/straighten it out etc, and I can't walk properly for days afterwards…

What do you eat when you feel faint and shakey?

Anyone using MFP with Slimming World?
Just wondering if anyone is mad enough to use the MFP app while following Slimming World? I go to class, and I have now changed my diary to look like a sw food diary. I wondered if there were any others following sw and need some moral support?

What do you use your remaining calories for?
If you had 500-800 calories left what would you use them on? Most days I don't have many left, but the days I do zumba I can have 800-1000 calories left, but I don't want to just use them on sugary and sweet things which are unhealthy.

How accurate are HRM?
Just tested my new Polar FT7 today, when I put in 30mins of fast walking into MFP it says I burnt 140 calories and my HRM says I burnt 267 calories - of course it doesn't take into account pushing two children in a pushchair too. I was just wondering in percentage how accurate HRM are?

Iron???
I am a vegetarian, and always worry about my iron levels, so much so I am needing an afternoon nap most days, so wasn't sure if it was iron or Vitamin D causing the problem. I have now discovered I can view how much iron I am having a day on my food diary on MFP. I am only averaging 13-21 out of 100 each day for iron. Can…
