Question #1:

How do you calculate grams of fat in beef?

My sister, recovering from a heart attack, is trying to change her diet. She has a limit to the amount of fat she consumes, and also is trying to separate out trans fat computations from mono and polys. She has no idea how to calculate fat in beef, and I can't help her there. Can you? Is there some kind of formula she can use? She's doing real well sticking to her new lifestyle but when you've been a meat and potatoes kind of gal your whole life, the temptation to go red meat occassionally is always there. Figured if she could legitimately add it into her diet a few times, that would help. I tried this question under Fitness and Health but got no answers so I'm trying it here. Thanks.

Question #2:

Could I get a waiver for this? Joining United States Coast Guard?

When I was 12, I had six months of outpatient counseling. I was diagnosed with mild depression relating to my parent's divorce several years before, as well as social problems (AKA not having many friends) in the 7th grade

I was given no medication, and the therapy ended after that six months. I have not had mental health counseling or any medications--of any kind--since then.

This is the section of the Army Regulations of Fitness (used by all the branches of the military) that I am concerned about:

(1) History of mood disorders requiring outpatient care for longer than 6 months by a physician or other mental
health professional (V65.40), or inpatient treatment in a hospital or residential facility does not meet the standard.

Longer than six months. So if I received treatment for EXACTLY six months, will this require a waiver? If I do need a waiver, how likely will I get one?

Also, I plan on getting a psychiatric evaluation and letter from another doctor (this counselor cannot perform one) to show that I am mentally capable for militiary service and have no lingering symptoms.

Answers?????

Question #3:

Who is the Gipper???

Question #4:

I need college and career advice?

Hi, I need some different perspectives and experience from you guys. I'm a junior in high school right now and I have no idea what I'm doing after my senior year. Up until recently, I was positive that I was going to attend college, however, I was never certain what career path I was going to follow or even what subject I would major in. Now I'm thinking twice about college; I'm really sick of school. I know that that is a typical thing to hear from a teenager, but I believe I'm coming from a different angle. I'm a really good student and I always have been. That might seem like a good thing, but looking back I've realized that I've focused so much on school that I'm not very good at much else. School just takes up all my time. And now I don't want to stress out for the next two years just to spend an ***-load of money on a college, where I get to stress out for another four years to get a degree, which I may or may not use for a career that I waste away at to pay my bills and school debt. College seems like the right choice for some people, but I don't want to be an engineer, a doctor, a politician, or an attorney. And I definitely don't want to go to college to learn about the subjects I'm interested in only to realize I have no career to fall into other than becoming a teacher for that particular subject.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is this: The path that college paves just seems boring to me. And I've heard all about the "college experience" but I'm not about to spend that much money just for an experience. I want jobs that will give me new experiences and really teach me things. I'm done with text books. I want a career that will be interesting and creative and fun. I just don't know what I should do to get there. I would love for a career that would suit one of my deep interests: Writing, singing, acting, drawing, health and fitness, photography and modeling. But I know half of those require a good amount of luck to become rewarding.

So let me hear of your experiences and advice: Did you go to college? Did you enjoy it? Are you using your degree? What job do you have? What jobs are interesting/rewarding/unique? What jobs do you think would suit my interests? What does that job require/how can I get that job? And anything else? THANK YOU!

Question #5:

how much is a guest pass at ymca in toronto, canada?

I want to bring my friend with me to the gym, I have a membership and I looked up on the website if I could this is what it said:
"7. Can I bring a guest with me?
You can bring as many guests as you wish! The first time anyone visits the YMCA, they are provided with a complimentary pass.

Adult members 16 years and older may purchase a guest pass. For a safe and enjoyable visit we ask that members accompany their guests during their visit and all guest leave picture identification with the Membership Desk."

Question #7:

Fitness/nutrition/diet is only for women?

I'm a 16 year old, and I'm thinking of a career in the Fitness/nutrition/diet area, and I'm really into these things myself.
I love to eat healthy, and exercise daily, and would love to have a career, and have the chance to help other people, in health and wellness of a person, but I have one question...
Is all of this (Working out, Eating health, management of weight, eating healthy, yoga and aerobics, and "sort of thinking about getting a RD (Registered dietitian) before going into fitness,) all for Women? Or can guys do this as well.
if your into anything , and I mean ANYTHING I just talked about and your a women, please put in your thought, its greatly appreciated.
This is a big deal for me, because choosing a career is very hard, and this is only thing I can think that I'm interested in, and it does involve living a healthy Life.

Question #8:

Now erm, this is awkward: I get these whitish sometimes yellowish stains/globs in my underwear...and it's sort of pissing me off D: and sometimes, after doing a lot of sport or fitness, it sort of...erm, smells :S
Could anyone help me with this..like what is this crap and how do I expel myself of it? It would be fabulous if you could :s

Question #9:

I just turned 21, how do I keep the temptation of partying(alcohol) out of my system?Fitness goals in jeopardy?

I am currently coming out of a very depressive state that I have been in for 2 whole years. Before this, I was 200lbs and 10% bodyfat, in the best shape of my life. I worked myself up to these stats, I'm not one of those lucky ppl that eat w/e they want, and still keep their abs. I had to work REALLY hard to get to that state of health (at least 1 and 1/2 years of solid diet and rigorous training sessions 4-5x a week). I never drank alcohol or put anything other than clean food/water in my body. Traumatic events and depression followed this, and I turned to JUNK food for comfort ( pitiful I know). I stopped working out and pretty much I lost ALL of my muscle and gained fat in its place. I am currently at a fat 210lbs, but I am getting better. I dropped 15lbs this summer. My goal is to get to 180 at 8% body fat, and then bulk back up to 200lbs and 8-10% bodyfat.

My only problem is that I turned 21 last week and the temptation of alcohol is everywhere, ESPECIALLY on the weekends when all of my friends are clubbing/partying. When I drink, I feel like all of my work during the week goes to trash, and I have to start over at the same place each Monday. I also hate putting alcohol in my system so often. PLUS I think going to clubs every weekend will get boring and it is EXPENSIVE!!!! I spent $70 on drinks last Saturday.

I DON'T want to drink each weekend and if that means sacrificing my social life, then so be it. I also DON'T want to club/party w/o being fcuked up on alcohol/weed/etc..(addictive personality). Unfortunately, they go hand in hand for me

Should I just say NO to the clubs and parties until I reach my goals? How should I go about this?!?!

Question #10:

Health/fitness question???

I am 14 and I really want to be more healthy, get into better shape, and maybe lose a little weight. I am 5'7" and 134 lbs. I know this is healthy because my doctor told me, and weight isn't my issue. I am not fat, but I have a belly. One girl said I look pregnant. :/ Also, there is a lot of fat around my hips just above where I wear my pants, resulting in muffin top. I get really self conscious of this and I can't wear tight clothes or certain styles that I would like to. I am also really bad at sports and absolutely hate all forms of physical activity (thank God I am not naturally fat, or I would be totally obese). I have tried running a few times a week but I hate it and get out of breath and get cramps in my side. I like swimming and we just got a new YMCA built if that helps. Also, (sorry this is so long) I eat A LOT. I only eat really 3 times a day (which I hear isn't healthy) but I eat everything on my plate. I also have a big problem with DESSERTS. Mainly just like ice cream and I LOVE chocolate. So much. I tried eating no desserts for 3 days and it was the hardest thing ever but felt so good!.

Basically, how can I exercise more without hating it or getting out of breath, and how can I lose the extra fat. :) Thanks for your help so much! And I start high school in two weeks, and I want to at least see SOME results by then. THANK YOU SO MUCH

Question #13:

Where do I draw the line between being motivational and being a nag?

After graduating college, my boyfriend moved a couple hours away. He used to be fit and active but it came to my attention that he has stopped working out. He says he's too busy with his new desk job but he knows he should exercise more. Because of the distance, we can't work out together and I can't cook healthy for him.

I am a big fitness and health freak. Being in shape is very important to me and it's bothering me that he's let himself go. I asked him to train for a race with me thinking that might get him off the couch--I've been running daily while I think he has maybe jogged once or twice in the past month.

I want to motivate him and see him rise to the challenge, but I do not want to be a nag. How can I get him to see the importance of taking care of himself without sounding too critical or nagging?

Question #19:

How do you know if you are an expert in the field..?

Hello Everyone,

I've been giving a lot of thought to becoming a independent consultant. My area of focus would be weight loss. I have a passion for health and fitness and I'm pretty fit. I gave birth to my daughter almost a year ago and in the best shape I think I've ever been. I know that there are many moms out there that can benefit from someone who they can be comfortable with. Plus, I would be a motivator.

I don't hold any credentials for weight loss. Like a certificate or university degree. But I have a lot of real life experience and I've read more about weight loss than the average person. I've even been to Weight Watchers at one point.

How do you know if you are an expert in a field?

Any advice?

Thank you for your time.
