It would be interesting to see how one person's stuff would pan out using 5 for 6 different methods of tracking.

I vote for device error in Anelia's case... It seems highly unlikely that she only burned 1200 cal's on a ride that long. My Garmin waaaaay cuts the calorie count when I use the HR monitor. I'm not sure why. It does better with no extra data or power meter data.

I like eggs too, but the USDA has made some big changes, they aren't dairy.

What's to freak out about? They've been moved to the protein category which makes perfect sense to me.

Indeed - wasn't it "meat, eggs & dairy" before anyway? I would say if it doesn't originate from a mammary it isn't dairy and chickens don't have tits....

I always thought the inclusion of eggs in "dairy" came from the fact that they're kept in the dairy case, is all - and from back in the day when people understood that vegans were vegans, but there were also vegetarians who were not vegans but kept "non-dairy," which meant no eggs either.

I can understand if you are a vegetarian not eating eggs -IMHO they are technically meat - left alone they will turn into a chicken....

Only with the help of a rooster!;)

My DD is a vegetarian, she eats eggs (as we have chickens and that's what's for breakfast) her vegetarian friends eat them too. Vegans don't eat eggs because they "came out of a chickens butt". Any animal products at all-vegans won't eat. No milk, cheese, or any other yummy stuff that I seem to glom onto and eat too much of!

Chicken egg=unfertilized human egg. I'll say no more, because to make other comparisons will put you off eggs forever.
