Weighing food...

Effect on Blood Pressure
Hi guys, I was hoping someone could help point me in the right direction. I'm not sure if I am just not researching properly or what, but I can't seem to find this answer.

NIke + question
I have had my nike+ sports watch for several years so far, and I've loved being able to track my mileage. I just received the heart rate monitor that is compatible with the watch for Christmas and I was wondering how accurate the calorie counter is now that I have the heart rate monitor. It has changed the number of…

What would you log this as?

Help for my legs
So I would really love any input. My legs just wont get smaller. I lift. I do cardio. I eat at a deficit. Why can I not get thinner legs?

12 inch pancake?
Okay, so I am having a lot of trouble figuring out the calories in a plain 12 inch pancake. Yes I know that is a huge pancake.

Hip measurnments
Hey guys, I am pear shaped. There is no way around it. I've come to accept that fact. However, there is pear shaped, and there is PEAR shaped. And I feel my hips are bordering on being too much. I am not expecting to get them down to a size zero or anything, but I would like to know if a) anyone has reduced their hips from…

Circuit Style Training
Okay, so I'm not sure how to log when I lift weights circuit style. I do a mix of 9-14 exercises 8-12 reps, minimal rest (as I move onto a move that doesn't work the same muscle group) 3 times the entire circuit. Its generally done in 30 minutes. Can I log this as circuit training? Thats what I thought, but then people are…

Nike + gps watch
Does anyone here have the nike+ gps watch and heart rate monitor? I just ordered the HRM so hopefully it will be here in a few days. I was hoping that it will be able to tell me calories burned for other activities as well (such as riding my bike) though I am not going to hold my breath on that one. I think that may be…

Distance on Bike indoors?
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows how to calculate hypothetical distance covered on a bike that is attached to an indoor resistance trainer? I know I maintain about 120 cycles per minute. I'm just trying to figure out what to input for my exercise. Thanks!
