Expert Tips

tip 1
Scallops have slightly less cholesterol than chicken or beef. These shellfish are also significantly lower in fat than meat and poultry. Better yet, the fat found in shellfish is largely unsaturated and includes heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
tip 2
Outdoor, upright, recumbent and mountain. So many bikes, so little time! Which type of bike burns the most calories? The mountain bike comes in on top, burning about 700 calories during a vigorous, uphill, 45-minute workout. In the same time period on flat terrain, outdoor bikes burn about 410 calories. Both the recumbent and upright stationary bikes burn about 360 calories in 45 minutes.
