Charge 2 - How to get more accurate HR while exercising
This is so simple it's stupid, but I've tested it and it truly works. By testing, I mean I feel my pulse and watch it on the fit bit as well it's perfectly in sync.

Anyone using an iPad or Android Tablet for MFP?

I'm considering changing up my plan a little bit to include1 or 2 spike days a week. Question 1, being at about 1000 Calorie a day deficit (2lbs of loss per week), would 1 or 2 days at 500 extra calories 'spike' my metabolism? Question 2, how do you handle your spike days on MFP, Just go ahead and blow your goal by 'x'…

Handheld or Scale Body Fat Analyzer?
I'm looking into getting a body fat analyzer and was wondering if most people prefer the scale with it built in or a hand held mobile model. Also, how do we feel about Omron as a brand. It's the only brand I'm familiar with from when I used to work for a company that sold fitness equipment years ago. Regards, Bruce

6lbs from one cheat day? Really???
Long story short: Went to a wedding, thought I behaved myself pretty well, worked out that morning even, drank lots of water. Had a sip of champagne, 1 beer, 1 glass of wine, and various other pot luck items. I know there is no way I consumed 21,000 Calories in that day (6x3500) Id be surprised if I did 3500 calories for…

Cholesterol in Lean Meats..
Should I worry about the cholesterol in Lean Meats, It seems that eating around 12oz of lean meat like chicken, turkey, or even lean beef really jacks my cholesterol up for the day. This is my personal preference for getting my protein, but should it concern me when i go over on daily cholesterol from lean meats?

Do you ever fill out your diary ahead of time?
I started out filling out as I went, then moved to filling out my lunch in the morning, then today I've filled out my breakfast, lunch, and dinner already since I know what I'm having.
