During each week of the challenge, we have to attend a nutrition class. In each class, we are given three goals to work on for that week. In the past, goals have included drinking 2 liters of water a day and eating five to eight servings of vegetables. Recently one of the goals was to start using MyFitnessPal (a free app that can be found at www.myfitnesspal.com). You log in everything you eat, as well as your activity for the day. It is actually a pretty cool app for those trying to lose weight.
With the weather changes we have been having lately (alternating hot/cold with the cold being unseasonably cold), my allergies/sinuses have been giving me fits this week. I sent the following e-mail to my gym peeps w/ the subject line "MyFitnessPal HELP!" :
"I need the nutrition values for snot. I have looked for it under snot and phlegm both, and MyFitnessPal doesn't seem to have it listed. I am swallowing large quantities of it today and need to tract the calories at least. What is a serving of snot? And I also need suggestions on just how to count how many servings I am consuming. Please let me know. I want my experience with MyFitnessPal to be as accurate as possible."
I got this response from Chance (he cracks me up):
"Well, scientifically speaking, a serving of snot is a loogie. As far as their caloric density, I have no idea. You might ought to start hocking and spitting to avoid over consumption, not to mention, you don't want to be called a snotlicker,-now do ya?"
Took some allergy meds that night and was tempted to send out a follow up e-mail that asked "how many calories do I burn fighting a drug induced fog?"
