Trusting single-serving packaged food nutrition information
I've been wondering recently about the accuracy of the nutrition information on some of the foods I eat. Thus far I have been losing just fine, but I am sure that as I get closer to my goal weight, every little calorie will count. So I wanted to ask this question: How do you record foods such as a single, individually…

Heavy Lifting to maintain muscle without compromising running progress?
Hey guys, I have been lazy for some time now and find myself at a point where I have some weight loss needed. I have always chosen to exercise alongside calorie counting to give me a few extra calories during the day. Running is my exercise of choice. I love it, it is my favorite exercise. I am concerned however about the…

Iphone Apps
Hey, does anyone use any great Iphone apps to record their workouts? I am looking for something that is easy to use, and will track the exercise, weight, reps, progress, etc. The myfitnesspal app just isn't cutting it for me with the weight section, and i prefer not to carry around a notebook/pencil with me at the gym. Any…

Oh man....
So my doctor reccommended i go on an all liquid diet. He said that since i have 15 pounds to lose, it would help me cleanse the toxins out of my system and jumpstart my weightloss.

What to do when you can't weigh
There are some times when logging accurately is pretty difficult. This past Sunday i didn't even log my dinner because it was a big family thing and i have no idea what any of the ingredients were for any of the foods i ate. I know i went over my calories, but oh well, one day shouldn't kill me. Also, last night my wife…

Should i focus on the type of calories?
Hey everyone! I have only been doing this for about 2 weeks now. I never considered myself to be overweight at all, but my gut was a little bigger than i wanted it to be. I am 6', 200 pounds, but i would love to be 180. I have always been a fairly healthy eater and regular exerciser, i just got out of the habit for the…
