No offense taken. I realized it was a bonehead question once I hit send, but figured I'd let it run it's course, lol. I already had an appointment set up with my primary, and informed him I'd like...

I don't have an exact measurement, but I'd estimate 27%. I don't have much muscle....yet.

I put my weight, height age etc into my fitness pal, and then set it to lose 2lbs/week. The diet it gives me is:

1640 calories
Fat - 55g
Carb - 225g
Protein - 61g

This just doesn't seem...

Boil a couple dozen, let them sit in cold water. Clean them all and put them in a Tupperware covered in cold water and put in the refrigerator. They'll get you through 3-4 days.

I'm starting working out soon. It'll be morning. What are the pro's of working out fasted? I would be rushing to work after, and will most likely not be able to get breakfast for a while after, so...

Thanks for all the replies. I have an ultimate goal in mind that I know isn't around the corner, and a few "in between" goals that are basically weight goals for at a few upcoming events (February...
