What to eat before biking?
What are the best foods to eat BEFORE going out for a bike ride? What are the best foods to eat AFTER you are done bike riding? I only ride between 1 hour and 1 hour and 15 min. but sometimes, during the ride, I feel very out of energy. Thoughts???

60-70% vs 80-90%???
I understand that when you work out, if you want to burn fat you should stay in the 60-70% range. If you want to improve cardio, stay in the 80-90% range. So, if you are working out in the 80-90% range, how can you not burn fat too? How is it possible to work out and not burn fat when you are burning calories???:huh:

451 to go
I worked out this morning and burned 713 calories. I've eaten 1652 so far today and have 451 calories to go. I just can't eat any more today.

I just bought a Polar F6 HRM and I thought I read a thread on here once about the first time you use it, you should wear it at a resting time so it can gets its initial reads.

What to eat at bedtime???
What do you all think is the best thing to eat when I'm hungry at night but getting ready to go to bed??? An apple? Some carrots? A piece of toast? What is better to sleep on and not to gain weight from? Carbs? Protein? Sugary something? Or nothing at all and just ignore the stomach growls???

Yes, Another HRM question...
I am preparing to get a HRM. One site I was reading about the Polar F6 said something about a strap that you put on. Do you always have to wear a strap around your chest or is it just the monitor that looks like a watch? Thanks for your help everyone!!!

I Don't Get It!!!
Since Monday the 26th I have stayed within my calories and way within the fat allowed and have stayed at 188 lbs. No budging. Now if I cheated and ate bad stuff, I could understand, but I haven't.

Cooked or Uncooked?
When it says, for example: 1 - 6 oz. hamburger. Does that mean 6 oz. of cooked or uncooked meat? That always confuses me and we're having hamburgers for dinner and I'm not sure if I should measure it before or after cooking. Is there a simple way to tell what is 6 oz. if I don't have a scale? Thank you all for your help!!!…
