Skyr Vs. Fage: Yogurt Deathmatch
All yogurts are not created equal. Some are champion snacks or even meals, and others are sugar-soaked goop. One serving of my childhood favorite, Western Family lowfat blueberry yogurt, contains 44g of sugar, versus 9g in an equally if not more delicious serving of Total Fage. So no more Western Family for me. Which brings us to the topic at hand: yogurts' nutritional content, specifically high-end, thick-style yogurts.

Run, Run as Fast as You Can. You Can’t Catch Me Because I’m a Doughman!
I was recently watching my food hero Adam Richman of Man vs. Food fame, and was astounded to see him eat bacon-covered cupcakes and then head off on an ankle-twisting run. The impossible was unfolding before my eyes: Man vs. Food was combining triathlon with degustation. I had to know more. My search first lead me to this Eat Blog Run site, (which is strangely reminiscent of another site’s challenge), but, eventually I found it: The Doughman....
It seems that some years ago in sweet Durham, North Carolina, four Duke alums were arguing about Krispy Kremes over beers....

A Healthy St. Patrick’s Day
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!! It is officially that time of the year, the final stretch before winter vaults into spring, when everyone has to green it up, get sloshed on Jameson, and wear patently sexy shirts like the one I have that reads: “Kiss me I’m (1/3) Irish.” In a similar fashion to my widely revered and respected Healthy Super Bowl post, I am offering, to you, a Healthy St. Patrick’s Day menu of alternatives. BLASPHEMER, you say? I’M BLOGGING FOR A FITNESS WEBSITE YOU JACKASS, I slur, before decking your boyfriend and ripping my shirt off so you can admire my dead sexy freckles. Check out the list after the jump.

The apartment building I live in is not what you would call “nice.” I usually refer to it as old and busted. And these past few days we have not had any hot water. I didn’t mind at first, since I was always going to the gym and showering there after my workouts. On Saturday I had planned on making it a rest day but I was not prepared to take an ICE COLD shower.

Let's say you're a mom with no time, but you still want to get fit. Stop trying to carve out special exercise time, says Carolyn Barnes, a.k.a. cLean Momma. (Her strange capitalization.) Instead, she suggests working fitness into your household chores: Push-ups while you do the dishes, or lunges while vacuuming. Really?

Super-sizing didn’t start with McDonalds.
According to a new study, it started with Jesus. The LA Times has the details on some odd new research, which looked at paintings of the “Last Supper” to determine when portions began increasing in the Western diet. Researchers are funny.
