Carbohydrate Values Are Displaying Incorrectly
I’ve noticed over the last week or two, the carb values of my foods are being displayed incorrectly (always lower grams than it actually is). However, if I try to edit the food, it shows the correct values. When I go into my day view of my total nutrients, the carbohydrate total will be correct, even though the wrong carb…

Running when it's windy - VERY frustrated!!!
Does this happen to anyone else?: Ever since I can remember I find it very hard to breathe when there's a strong wind. It literally catches my breath and I cannot breathe until the gust of wind dies down again. I remember this being a very frightening experience as a child. Today I went for a run - or at least I attempted…

This evening I was rubbing them and my ankle bones were quite sore to touch - they felt like they'd been…

When to 'mix it up'?
I've heard lots of people talk about how your muscles 'get used' to certain workouts and how you need to mix it up for the greatest benefits. I've been doing the same weights in the gym for about 2-3 weeks. How long should I be doing the same weights/workouts before I need to change things? Thanks!!

How soon after gym should I eat?
Hi, I'm just wondering how soon after the gym (cardio & weight training) should I eat? I usually have a protein bar when I get home, which is about 10 - 15 after leaving the gym. Is this too soon? I thought I might be diverting blood away from my muscles to digestion. Thanks :smile:

Alcohol...
...do you or don't you? I am trying to eat clean (-ish) but I really enjoy a glass or 2 of wine. I've pretty much cut it out since joining the gym as I've heard it causes the body to go into a kind of 'fat storage' mode after you drink it and I don't want to undo any of my good work but I really miss having a glass or two…
