I am an exercise physiologist and entered body fat of 7% into your calculator. I want to get to 5%.
Hello, I am an exercise physiologist. I entered body fat of 7% and I want to get to 5%. Your Healthy Body Calculator® said I should eat over 4500 calories and over 100 grams of fat! I don't think that is possible, do you? Thank you for your response.

I was told that soft drinks are extremely bad nutritionally by my track coach.
I have been told that soft drinks are extremely bad nutritionally. I know that they have acids and sugars which are both bad for teeth, but I have also heard that they can lower bone density. I was also told by one of my track coaches that they could negate the effects of cardiovascular...

I want to reduce my body fat down to 9 to 10%.
Thanks for taking the time, your feedback was a welcome sight!
According to "rough" estimates, I am somewhere between 11-13% body fat. There are a couple of places where it is carried to a more noticeable degree than others - namely the "spare tire" and "love handles". Everything else is pretty lean. And yes, I...
Do I need to compliment milk and egg to make a complete protein?

I've got a question of protein consumption one adult should have normally. Will the overdose of protein be harmful to a normal body function or is it simply not recommended?

I am an ex-offensive football lineman and wish to gain 5 to 10 pounds of lean mass to remove the spare tire.
My question concerns the age-old battle between muscle mass and fat.
Background: I am 6 foot 6 inch, 255-pound ex-offensive football lineman. I've lost 40 pounds since my playing days, but still have some fat to burn (5 pounds). I continue to lift strenuously and admittedly need more aerobic exercise. Your Healthy Body Calculator® told...
