Logging/Weighing Chicken Breast
I realize that chicken weighs differently raw versus cooked. I baked all my boneless/skinless chicken breast all at one time. So how should I enter this in my diary? I know how much it weighs cooked but not sure how to log that. Any help is appreciated.

Monster Drinks
I'm have a least one a day during my five day work week. Sometimes if I'm stressed I will drink another. I prefer the Abosolutely Zero because it has no calories. I'm constantly being harrased by co-workers about how bad they are. I've done just a little reading and there isn't really any strong support that they are bad…

How Many Hours Of Sleep?
I know a lot of sources say 7-8 hours of sleep, but trying to exercise, job, church, family time...something has to give. Just wondering, how much sleep do you get on average. I average 6-7 every night but some times I feel like I only have enough time for 5 or less.

Is jealousy or envy?
Someone told me that I need to stop dieting and eat normal and hit the weights. After they told me that they told me how a trainer told him to shred some weight before doing some weight lifting. Seems like everyday now for the last couple of weeks people want to tell me how to lose weight or work out when they do neither…

Instant Oatmeal?
Ouaker Oats Instant Oatmeal is very conveient for me but is it a bad choice? I know that the flavored ones are not great because they contain so much sugar. If you do eat the flavored ones, for example the maple and brown sugar one, do you lose the benefits of oatmeal? Oatmeal has a low glycemic index but I read that with…

Weight Training Help!
I'm a 32yo male that never really play sports of any kind and never really lifted weights until most recently. I'm working out with a trainer and I get frustrated that I can't lift what I consider "heavier weights" aka anything higher than 30-50 pounds without really struggling. How long does it take to build strength and…

Group Name
I saw the group name and I love it. Our body is definitely a temple and I'm frankly fed up with poisoning my body with unhealthy or excessive amounts of food. Some people call wanting to lose weight being vain but I truly think that we should be concerned with what we put in our bodies. An over indulgence in food can be…
