Quinoa vs Bread
So I've been trying to cut back on bread for the past several weeks. I've been doing fairly well so far, but breakfast is proving to be a challenge. I used to eat two pieces of whole grain bread topped with about a tablespoon and a half of peanut butter between the two (approx. 330cal, 14g protein, 37 carbs). I've recently…

Hi!
Hey all.. New to this group, so hi! I never expected to see an alt music forum on a workout site, but this is great. So I mainly listen to political (left-wing) punk nowadays, but I also like mod and some power-pop too. I have a nice rockabilly/psychobilly collection, but haven't been feeling that lately. Anybody ever…

Bench Pressing Compliments
Anybody have a favorite exercise to alternate between a bench press during a workout? Doesn't necessarily have to be another chest exercise, but let's assume we're talking about a "chest" day.

Quick weights as cardio
Can weights EVER be considered cardio if done in quick enough succession? I alternate dumbbell squats to side lunges in pretty quick succession with no rest. The whole workout lasts about 15-20 mins (about 5 sets each) before a short run. Should I just count the run as cardio?

A moment of pause...
Or maybe not??? So when I run, I normally do sprints in 30 second intervals.. 30 on, 30 off.. After about 15 minutes, I get pretty exhausted and need to rest for a few minutes about half-way through before continuing with the rest of the workout. Sometimes it's up to 3-5 minutes. I use Endomondo with the Wahoo HRM so that…

Push-ups and Pull-ups
So I sprained my hand a while back, and can't do any heavy lifting for a while; but I got to wondering whether it's possible to gain some muscle mass just by doing a routine based solely on pushups and pull-ups. -And if so, what would a routine like that look like? 5 sets of each to failure? I realize that at some point…

LIAR!
So I've been using my Wahoo Fitness HR monitor during workouts. I think it's pretty good when I go out for a run. A 40 minute run should burn around 500 to 600 cals if it's fairly intense at points, and that's what the Wahoo reflects.... I also use it for weight training. Now, when I'm lifting weights for 45 minutes to an…

Stuff I do now includes: dumbbell snatch; renegade row; dumbbell calf jump; Dumbbell biceps curl; power clean; dumbbell reverse lunge; dumbbell flye; arnold press; dumbbell upright row. I…

Hi!
Hi all... Been using the MFP app for a few years now but never thought to join the discussions. Not looking to lose weight necessarily but am always for good health discussions anyway.

Hey...
Hey.. Been on this for a while, but never thought to join the discussion or add friends. I'm not on a diet or anything, but still care about what I'm putting into my body. Any vegans out there? I'm always up for a discussion about that!
