Whether you run on a treadmill and glance at the display, or keep track of your run outside with a GPS, it's nice to know how many calories you're burning, especially if weight loss is one of your goals.
Here's a nifty chart to let you know what your pace and workout time translates to in calories burned. It can also help you figure out how intensely and how long you need to exercise in order to negate the cupcake you savored at lunch.

Chock-full of protein, eggs are a quick and easy way to get protein any time of the day. From omelets in the morning to quiche at night, you may be shying away from the yolks to save calories and cholesterol. The yolk may contain all the fat, but it also contains most of the vitamins and nutrients. Take a look at the comparison below to see what you may be missing when you hold the yolks.
| 1 egg white | 1 egg yolk | |
|---|---|---|
| Calories | 16 | 54 |
| Total fat (g) | 0 | 5 |
| Saturated fat (g) | 0 | 2 |
| Cholesterol (mg) | 0 | 210 |
| Sodium (mg) | 55 | 8 |
| Carbs (g) | 0 | 1 |
| Fiber (g) | 0 | 0 |
| Sugars (g) | 0 | 0 |
| Protein (g) | 4 | 3 |
| Vitamin A (IU) | 0 | 245 |
| Vitamin B12 (mcg) | 0 | 0.3 |
| Vitamin D (IU) | 0 | 18.2 |
| Calcium (mg) | 2.3 | 21.9 |
| Folate (mcg) | 1.3 | 24.8 |
| Potassium (g) | 53.8 | 18.5 |
| Selenium (mcg) | 6.6 | 9.5 |
| Omega-3s (mg) | 0 | 38.8 |
The yolks are where it's at if you're looking to up your intake of vitamins A, B12, and D, as well as your daily calcium, folate, and omega-3s. If it's cholesterol you're worried about, the recommended limit is about 300 mg a day. That means you could enjoy an egg a day if you wanted to, but it's important to be mindful about how much meat, cheese, and other dairy products you eat during the rest of the day.

A grain-free life does not have to be free of comfort food! When you're craving a big bowl of garlicky pasta, cook up these zucchini noodles aglio et olio (garlic and oil) instead. The real comfort here, other than that fragrant garlic, comes from "breadcrumbs" created from toasted almond meal; I was truly surprised by how much I enjoyed their flavor and texture.

To work your core even more, here's a strength-training yoga move that will tone your entire torso as well as your upper body — you just might give up traditional crunches forever!
You'll need to have a strong Headstand, so if you haven't quite mastered this inversion, then work on this Headstand Sequence before attempting these Headstand Crunches.

If you've had BluePrint Juice's refreshing concoction of pineapple, green apple, and mint (P.A.M.) and thought to yourself how good it would be in a cocktail, you definitely have the makings of a bartender in you! BluePrint's P.A.M. has everything you want in a great Summer cocktail — a balanced flavor profile of sweet and tart with just a little something extra from the fresh mint. All it takes is one sip to be transported to a tropical beachside destination. Adding to its taste appeal are of course P.A.M.'s many nutritional benefits: made from raw, live juice, pineapple and mint are both known for their detoxing and debloating benefits.
First we set out to hack BluePrint's P.A.M. recipe for ourselves, which was a success in its own right. But after mixing it up with a little rum, we may have even improved on the original.
Fans of the mojito, learn how to make your new favorite Summer cocktail after the break!
