How can I get an accurate calorie useage count for this exercise?
Q. I'm on this weight loss program where I'm supposed to be increasing and monitoring my calorie intake and outputs... Anyhow, part of the program involves increasing my physcial activity and I've noticed that I have a tough time getting to the gym... What about sex? I'm much more motivated to have sex. Is it a good workout? I mean, I sometimes see this generic number of calories that is supposedly used in sex, but it really doesn't account for variance in intensity and time. How can I get an accurate count of the calories used for my weight loss program?

A. A very helpful tool in loosing weight or training for a sport event is a heart rate monitor. There a very different heart rate monitors, with very different prices, some top over 300 dollars, while others are about 25. It depends on what you need it for, I think a good heart rate monitor that tells you how many calories you burn is the right choice for you. There are some that you have to strap around the waist, while others just come as a watch. That's what I would do to see exactly how many calories I burned during sex, as a matter of fact, that's not such a bad idea.

What is a Calorie and what does it have to do with gaining fat?
Q. You always hear health people saying to watch your calories or look how many calories this has and stuff like that. Also stuff like when exercising you have to burn so and so calories. What is a calorie? Is it a sugar or a fat? does it turn into fat? are calories bad for you? aren't calories what gives you strength and energy? what do you know about calories? if your body is a car, aren't calories the fuel? why would calories be bad for you? why would it make you gain weight? are calories good for you?

A. A calorie is a unit of measurement of the amount of energy that you get from the food that you eat. If the number of calories that you eat each day is equal to the number of calories that your body burns each day your weight will stay the same. If you eat a lot of food, and therefore a lot of calories, and you don't burn them off you will gain weight. Calories themselves aren't good or bad, the sources of them are (eating a healthy meal vs. eating a fried super value meal from a fast food restaurant). I hope this helps!

A. For low calorie, you probably don't want meat in the soup. And a meat broth would add calories, also. So I'd start with a vegetable broth. To make it, roast a carrot, onion, and some celery in the oven at 350 F for about a half hour. Let the vegs cool so you can handle them without burning yourself. Thin slice the carrot and celery, and dice the onion. Put the vegs in a pan with about 2 to 3 cups water. (I'd be tempted to add one bunch of raw spinach, also.) Bring to a simmer, cover, and let it go for an hour and a half. Strain the vegs from the broth, and discard the vegetables. You're ready to start the soup. Bring the broth to a boil. While the broth is heating, prep your vegetables. Use any vegetables you like. Peel (if… [cont.]
