I lik turkey bacon, it's ok...but I do get low sodium regular bacon. -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 14:30
I'm not "fooled" by turkey bacon, but I like it just the same. -- nm - Reagen Sep 27, 14:21
I know what you mean. I cannot deal with most reduced-fat versions of real food. So I just eat less of the real stuff. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:20 21
- I'm lucky that I don't crave food so my coke addiction doesn't hurt much. - David Sep 27, 14:24 20
  - my coke addiction also makes me not crave food....nm - x Sep 27, 14:29
  - Getting back to the larger issue, it's kind of a distraction to think about how many calories you burned doing a particular thing - Reagen Sep 27, 14:26 18
    - Right, more than anything I need to rebuild my stamina, which still hasn't come back yet. - David Sep 27, 14:33 2

    - Generally it's a mistake to focus too much on what you burn during a workout because it's really not a meaningful amount in terms of your daily - pmb Sep 27, 14:30 10
      - I wonder if I could get a standing desk. I think they'd think I'm nuts. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:32 5
        
        eh, they probably already think that....nm - x Sep 27, 14:34 1
        
        "Yep, it's cause of the desk." -- nm - TFox Sep 27, 14:37
        
        We have people at our office with them, though they usually do it because of back issues. -- nm - pmb Sep 27, 14:33 2
        
        We have a few people who sit on exercise balls. - Kim Pine Sep 27, 14:33 1
        
        I've read that's not so good. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:35
      - I'm a big time fidgeter. I expect that burns a significant number of calories a day for me. -- nm - Reagen Sep 27, 14:31 3
        
        I really saw this in effect when I was at Lollapalooza. I was almost entirely standing for 10 hours a day and it's about a mile walk from one end to - pmb Sep 27, 14:40 2
        
        though you have to be careful with drawing conclusions from that since that could have been water weight. - Reagen Sep 27, 14:43 1
        
        That was probably some of it, though like you I was drinking water constantly. -- nm - pmb Sep 27, 14:45
    - plus, those calorie counts from machines are so inaccurate. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:27 3
      - true, though they're more often high than low. -- nm - Reagen Sep 27, 14:29 2
        
        They also don't account for the fact that you would be burning a portion of those calories just by breathing as well. People look at the number and - pmb Sep 27, 14:32
        
        vanity calories? I would not be surprised. -- nm - loosilu Sep 27, 14:29
