Does the size of my calorie deficit matter for weight loss.
So MFP says that the number of calories I am allowed every day is the standard 1200. Most days I work out and burn about 700 calories. So in actuality I am allowed to eat 1900 calories after exercise. Generally I will actually eat 1800 calories, so that leaves 100 extra calories left over, and I lose weight that way. Would…

You hear it all the time that drinking soda is bad for you and I am curious why. Now, I know it doesn't matter calorie wise, because diet pepsi has zero calories in it.

Some asked if he could give me some advice and I said sure and he advised me that I should 'keep it aerobic.'

Heart Rate Monitor Opened My Eyes, But I Have Questions
I apologize if this is a little long. If you want, you can skip straight to the second paragraph for the question. The first paragraph is just a realization that I had.

Clarification Needed - 7 Eleven Fresh To Go Seedless Grapes
Okay, so I bought one of those 7 eleven fruit cups today to eat with lunch. It is seedless grapes. It doesn't have any nutritional information listed on it, but it does say that the Net Wt is 6oz (170g). So, I am assuming that it can just be counted as 6oz of seedless grapes. Am I correct in my thinking? When I go to MFP,…
