Re: Do exercise calories include bmr?
Looking at this again, Cronometer seems to deduct bmr from exercise calories. I haven't seen this confirmed but this is why I think that: Cronometer uses MET: source If you go to Cronometer and input 60 minutes of "lying quietly and watching television", Cronometer says it burns 0 calories. The MET for "lying quietly and… -
Re: Do I need to worry that my diet is high in oxalates? (Vegan, ketogenic).
@Trying2Heal A first question to ask is whether or not you have had a calcium oxalate kidney stone in the past. As far as the research shows, simply consuming oxalates doesn't cause kidney stones. Nonetheless, I would ensure that you are consuming 2-3 L of low-calorie beverages per day and would avoid calcium supplements… -
Re: I can't figure out what's going on with my weight
"(I don't advise weighing daily since it tends to sabotage many people's efforts and most don't realize that true weight loss happens over weeks and months, not days)." Do you have studies that back this up? The US National Institute of Health disagrees. And if I had only weighed myself every week, I probably would not… -
Re: Protein target and macro balance for vegan cyclist
Hi @Susan_RD_101 , I've set my protein targets to 150-190g as I'm currently 85kg chasing 80 (down from 88 about 2 months ago) This is going to be challenging but I think I've got my head around it and can make the necessary adjustments. I have typically been getting about 80-90g protein since starting with cronometer. I've… -
We need tool for raw ingredients to be converted to cooked--drastic change in nutrients involved!
A number of entries only include a raw version. But the nutrient content of course is often vastly reduced (and of course in some cases, eg spinach, increased). I had not realized by how much until I checked this site, that allows side by side comparison: https://vegnt.com/. Sometimes the difference is just drastic! Check… -
Hair Loss and Chronic Diseases
My hair is all cracking off now in late 40's (female) after having several years of hair loss escalate into overdrive. I am losing all my hair and my skin has felt thinned and developed more sensitivities as well. I first lost 1/3 of my hair a few years ago, it progressed to 1/2 my hair, and now what's left is brittle and… -
10th day. All Izz Well
9 completed days, down 9 pounds. [OK I forgot to weight myself the first morning but I extrapolated back. Started the day after my birthday. I designed the diet to meet my protein requirements, 1.6 g per KG of goal weight which seems to be the place to be science wise. I eat enough net carbs to fuel my fresh tasty brains… -
Re: What does insulin resistant mean?
Here's a good article on the subject. https://www.webmd.com/diabetes/insulin-resistance-syndrome#:~:text=Insulin%20resistance%20is%20when%20cells,blood%20sugar%20levels%20go%20up. The descriptive part of the article is good. I do disagree with the dietary advice though, based on my personal choices and results. Youtube has… -
Re: Potassium
I'm no expert but 'til the smarter folks get here I'll try to shed a little light on it. If it doesn't make sense, consider the source and trust that a better explanation will soon follow. I looked at two data entries for red kidney beans. 1. The first one was Sun Vista, Red Kidney Beans Food #4029317, Data Source:… -
Re: Sudden Weight Gain
@beckytheveggie One thing to keep in mind is that our weight is never actually stable. It's completely normal for your weight to go up and down by ~5 lbs per day based on the food you've eaten, bowel movements, hydration status, time of the month, clothing, time of day, etc. For anyone who wants to lose weight, it's…
