Realizing that I'm more than halfway to my goal (at 173ish now, want to get down to 145ish) made me really happy, and I wanted to…

Working in between sets?
So I just joined a new gym and I am going to be starting the Stronglifts 5x5 program today, and I am half excited, half nervous.

The problem is I'm not sure how many calories they have, or what the nutritional value is. I've read that mochi is supposed to be relatively low fat and low calorie, but I can't seem to find information…
