how do U use your HRM?
When at the gym do you leave it running the whole time you are there? For instance, if you go from walking the treadmill to the elliptical do you stop it in between to find your calorie burn for the individual workout or leave it on for a total calorie count?

calorie question or thoughts
Does the calorie count of a food change after its cooked? Example: ground beef, the label says a certain number of calories, so after you brown it in a pan does it change or stay the same? I also noticed on the MFP foods eggs cooked in a microwave have less calories than scrambled in a pan. thoughts?
