really stupid question about lifting
if i lift 2 dumb-bells, they are each 15 lbs. am i lifting 15 lbs, or 30 lbs? sometimes i do "machines" and i will do an exercise that shows i am using (example) 40 lbs, but if i go to free weights and grab two 20's, i can't duplicate that exercise. i'm confused by using two separate weights.

bike ride - moderate?
i ride my bike every day and pull my daughter in the little bike trailer. although i don't ride really fast, i feel that it is moderate since i am pulling my daughter and she weighs 45 pounds + the weight of the trailer. do you think that is correct? it's definitely not leisurely! LOL

carbs & fiber on MFP
when carbs are listed for a food on MFP, are those total carbs or net carbs? example: if i enter a granola bar and MFP lists 10g carbs and 2 g fiber, has the 2 g of fiber already been subtracted from the carbs? would this particular example yield 10 g carbs or 8 ? thanks.
