Ask RefrigeratorRaid.com a question!

Which burns more calories--running or swimming?  Do you have to sweat to get a good workout?  Does yoga count as weight bearing exercise?  Is "ground turkey" just as healthy as "ground turkey breast"?

If you have a question about diet, fitness, or weight loss, submit it directly to us by email.

We'll occasionally feature a question--and the answer--on RefrigeratorRaid.com.

And if we don't immediately know the answer, we'll research it until we do!

Hi! I read your site everyday! I work out on the elliptical for 45 minutes 4 days a week. I do my weights 3 times for about 30 minutes. I'm 5ft 3, slender frame and around 110lbs. I eat about 1200 cal's a day. Is this enough? I don't want my body to be in "starvation mode", but I don't want to gain weight eating more cal's either. I work so hard to burn calories, that it seems like if I upped my cal's that it would all be for nothing. I want to maintain this weight, but get more lean. Am I doing too much cardio,and not enough weights? Should I be eating more?

Thanks!

You know, this makes a lot more sense than my weekly Flip These Questions. I stopped doing that because of the quick turnaround time, I never had enough time to find the answers! Promising to occasionally feature a question is a great solution to my problem. I will probably steal this idea. ;-)

Hello,

I run the web site http://www.la-personal-trainer.com

I have been looking at your website and really like it. I was wondering if I could get listed with your site. As you know, reciprocal linking benefits both of us by raising our search rankings and generating more traffic to both of our sites. I am a personal trainer in Los Angeles offering weight loss, body sculpting, diet, nutrition, exercise and health programs.

Thanks, and have an awesome week!

Is there a site available where you can get a reliable list for counting calories and carbs?
Trying to plan meals on the go is very difficult. Are there any helps for planning meals available?

just wondering, fish are supposed to be good for us cos of the good oils. So when we eat fish, is it advisable to remove the skin? (since its good oil...)
