Vegetarians/vegans eating at least 100g of protein per day—show me your diaries
Yes, I know, this has probably been asked hundreds of times but I'll add another thread to that... I'm not vegetarian but since focusing on my protein intake, I've been eating meat (and/or fish) almost every day and I don't like it. I'd like to go back to having meat about once or twice per week but I never seem to be able…

Clubfoot/scoliosis and running
Is there anyone here who has a club foot (and scoliosis) and runs regularly? I currently lift and do yoga but would like to also start a C25K programme now that the weather is becoming nicer. I will also discuss this with a doctor, of course, but was just hoping to get some experience from others.

Calories in coconut milk (60% coconut)
Does anyone have coconut milk with 60% coconut and 40% water and could tell me the nutritional information (preferably per 100g)? I bought coconut milk from a brand called Thai Food King and couldn't find the info anywhere, or a coconut milk in the database that specified the ratio of coconut and water so right now I'm…

Template to track weight with LibreOffice—help!?
Hey all! I'm looking for a template to track my weight on LibreOffice and was wondering if someone has something on that? I found this one, which would be perfect but sadly doesn't work on the newer versions of LibreOffice—and I'm not tech-savy enough to even attempt to fix it.

Dumbbell OHP form question
Hey everyone! I'm confused about proper form for dumbbell OHPs. I don't have access to a trainer so I've been watching a lot of instructions on all the lifts, and for dumbbell OHPs I'm seeing some people go down until the dumbbells are about shoulder height (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEwKCR5JCog, also the…

Android app to track workouts (lifting)
Any recommendations for an android app to track weight training? In addition to simply tracking sets, reps and weight, it should allow for entering custom exercises, and for creating routines and planning future workouts. I wouldn't complain about statistics on how my strength improves or some gamification features but…

Need help with weight routine for beginner
Hey SideSteel and Sara! First, thanks for all the help you provide here, I feel I've already learned a ton about fitness and nutrition just by reading. Based on that I've decided to join my uni gym in August (when the new semester starts) and need help with putting together a programme. There aren't any trainers in the…

Why the frenzy about almond milk?
Now, I'm not talking about lactose-intolerant or vegan people here, obviously, but I've noticed both here and on 'healthy' food/cooking blogs that more and more people seem to be crazy about using almond milk instead of dairy. I do like almond milk and I use it at work since it doesn't need refrigerating but I fail to see…

Different calorie data on one food item...confused
So I bought this yogurt and just wanted to log it as my snack for tomorrow afternoon. Then I saw that the package has two different calorie and macro stats, and now I'm confused. It's a German brand so there's the data printed on it by the manufacturer. Since I live in Finland, there's also a sticker on it which has the…

Me using protein powder!?
So I'm always struggling with eating enough protein. I should get around 110-120g but the most I can manage is 100g and that's only with more meat than I like to eat on a daily basis. I've refused to buy protein powder for a couple of reasons, including not wanting all the cr***p that seems to come with most "conventional"…

Physical Fitness Test
Hey all! Did you do the Physical Fitness Test (http://www.fitnessblender.com/v/article-detail/Fitness-Blender-s-PFT-Physical-Fitness-Test/d2/) when you started or at some point? I decided in February that I needed more structure and bought the 4 week low impact plan which starts and ends with a PFT, and when I was done I…

Dumbbell clean and press - question on form
Hey there! I posted part of this in the general forum two days ago but didn't get an answer so I'm now hoping to be more successful here. I have a huge imbalance between my left and right side which obviously is an issue with strength training. I know that you should always use the same amount of weight on both sides so I…

Dumbbell clean and press - question on form
Hey all! I'm working out 6 - 7 days a week (including 1 - 2 recovery days of course with just a little yoga or something similar) with the guys at fitnessblender.com. I'm following one of their programmes so I'm pretty certain I'm getting a good balance of everything :) As far as strength training is concerned I'm…
