Unjury Protein
I keep getting ads for Unjury Protein (chicken soup flavoured) and it looks interesting... I've been looking for a protein power that doesn't have a chalky feel or odd aftertaste and this one claims to be free from both... has anyone tried it before? Just wondering if they actually live up to their claims.

Body weight exercises for deltoids
Hello, I'm putting together a workout routine for my SIL, who is an EXTREME beginner to exercising. She's not able to do push ups, though it isn't an issue with her arm strength- it's more because she's not able to hold her core up. I've got quite a few core moves which she is able to do in the circuit but I was thinking…

Strawberry muffin fail... what did I do wrong?
I tried to make healthy strawberry muffins and used this recipe as a base http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2013/01/03/skinny-strawberry-chocolate-chip-muffins/ Made a few changes to it, though- no chocolate, splenda instead of sugar and pureed the strawberry instead of applesauce (applesauce is hard to find where I am)...…

Strawberry muffin fail... what did I do wrong?

Replacing all-purpose flour with almond flour in baking
I'm going to be trying my hand at baking some "breakfast muffins" and am playing with the idea of using almond flour instead of the all purpose my recipe calls for. I'm planning on making it using applesauce instead of butter/oil... would I need to add more or make any adjustments to the recipe to account for the almond…

Handing out fat letters instead of treats tonight?
On the radio this morning, I heard that a woman (somewhere in the States, can't remember details) plans on only handing out halloween candies to select kids this year- the thin ones. She plans on handing the kids she deems to be overweight letters to give to their parents. The radio host read out the letter and it…

Inconsistencies/Hypocriticisms
So as I've been trying to lose weight I've been learning a lot about myself. Something new I've learnt is that there are ways in which I'm hypocritical or inconsistent with my opinions/beliefs. For example: - I can't bring myself to eat veal (because it was just a baby) but I have no problem with lamb. - I turn all the…

How to be motivated
We've all read the recent posts discussing how motivation is not what's needed to become healthy (causing some more than others to question their identities...) but we all also know that while motivation might not get/keep you there, it's defintely a great kick in the pants to start. And so, here are some great tips I've…

Calories on menus - Government Nannying?
Hey everyone, So Toronto Public Health board has a current push to provide calorie and sodium info on menu lists. They've made this trendy lil site to help promote their cause: http://www.savvydiner.ca/ I'm totally for this because I feel that it would allow us to make better decisions at the point of purchase (therefore…

Does anyone read Fitnea?
http://www.fitnea.com/ I see their articles on completely non-fitness related sites (should be the first clue, I know) and have checked some out because they look interesting... but I find they don't seem to be very well researched, or if they are they really don't share sources. Does anyone else read this site? What do…

What would you put in a grazer's "healthy cookie"?
Hello, I'm looking for some ideas. My mom asked me to make her some cookies which she can use as either meal replacements or quick, filling snacks. My mom is totally a grazer- she wants something that she can just sit at her desk and snack on while she's doing her work (she's a workaholic too). We had some cookies which…

Good mobile app/HRM combos?
Hey guys, So I'm in the market for an HRM and would really like one that pairs with my cell phone (have an android). My original plan was to use Endomondo and look into bluetooth HRM's, but then I found out they don't actually take HRM into consideration for their calories burned... not cool! Anyone have any suggestions?…

Calculating calories from speed and time running?
Hey guys, So today was my first time actually tracking what my speed was during my jog (had to use distance and time... too broke for anything fun and techy) and I figured out that I ran an avg speed of 3.9mph, for 47mins. This is a lot less than the 5.0mph which is in the tracker already, so I was wondering what a closer…

Eating back Exercise Cals?
I dont' always eat back my exercise calories (I usually don't, actually) But I'm usually not hungry enough to want to eat them back... but I always feel bad when I complete my entry for the day, and the lil blurb comes up saying I'm starving myself! Is it ok to not eat my exercise cals, even when it puts me at that low a…
