BMI and Why You Shouldn’t Worry About It

You might not be a numbers person and you might have failed college math. Well, don’t stress yourself out any more by dealing with this number, BMI. I know… those are three letters but they represent a number that means… nothing to you! Your body mass index is supposed to give you an idea of what physical condition you are in, but it might not always be the most accurate for every individual. In this video, Hungry tells you why other numbers, including measurements and body fat percentage, will provide you with a much better idea about your overall health.

How to Like Greek Yogurt

I’ve been there. I’ve been handed my first Greek yogurt (it was the new magical thing), I’ve dug my spoon into the yogurt with anticipation, and I’ve stuck my tongue out with disappointed disgust. For me, at least, Greek yogurt was not a love at first sight. It was a hill to climb to enjoy it. The thickness, the sourness–it was hard to get down. I’m pretty sure I made a retching sound and handed it back to whoever gave it to me in the first place. Not dramatic at all. Why am I telling you this? Because now I love Greek yogurt! I got there because it’s full of protein and it’s a great part of my nutrition. And you can too. Follow these 5 steps.
