A runners diet is.
2/3 carbs 1/3 protein.
And ofcourse your daily veggies and fruits.

A lot of it is what you eat too. If you are eating garbage, more.
Just stay active. It's summer...do a sport or get out and ride a bike or something

What percent of your daily protein should come from protein shakes?
DETAILS:If you weight 160 pounds, would it be okay to get 108 grams of the 160 grams that you intake daily from protein shake?
I heard that you shouldn't get more than 50% of your daily protein from shakes; is this true--why?
--RetroAgassi
2008-04-04 12:55:10 | ChosenAnswer:
My concern with getting more than 108g out of your 160g of protein is that you may not be getting a well balanced amount of other nutrients. For example, when you eat steak, you would also be getting a good bit of iron from it as well.
Look at what your shake contains, and then figure out what other nutrients that your shakes don't contain and try to eat foods that will provide you with what your shake doesn't. A good example is your shakes probably don't contain fiber. If you would start getting 75% of your protein or daily intake of nutrients from shakes, you might start missing out on some other things that your body needs that aren't provided in the shakes.

How do I convert daily interest to annual interest?
DETAILS:I've calculated the daily return on a stock for a period of 5 years, and took the average of that return. And now I want to convert that average daily return to its equivalent annual return.
--Saud Alessa
2008-05-07 11:58:43 | ChosenAnswer:
D=daily rate in decimal form, i.e. 5% would be 0.05
A=annual rate in decimal form
A=(1+D)^365-1
That would be for interest calculated daily, but you are talking about a stock so replace 365 with the number of trading days in that year, usually around 250.
But average returns are meaningless. If a stock starts at 100 and goes up 50% to 150 one day and then drops 50% to 75 the next day, the average daily return is 0% but you lost 25% of your money.

What is the daily rainfall and the yearly rainfall of the desert?
DETAILS:What is the daily rainfall and the yearly rainfall of a common desert? And what the average temperature?
--indokid
2007-12-16 20:12:44 | ChosenAnswer:
A desert is a landscape form or region that receives very little precipitation. Deserts are defined as areas that receive an average annual precipitation of less than 250 mm (10 in). In the Köppen climate classification system, deserts are classed as (BW).
Group B is a desert area with these caracteristics.
GROUP B: Dry (arid and semiarid) climates-
These climates are characterized by the fact that precipitation is less than potential evapotranspiration.[6] The threshold is determined as follows:
To find the precipitation threshold (in millimeters), multiply the average annual temperature in °C by 20, then add 280 if 70% or more of the total precipitation is in the high-sun half of the year (April through September in the Northern Hemisphere, or October through March in the Southern), or 140 if 30%-70% of the total precipitation is received during the applicable period, or 0 if less than 30% of the total precipitation is so received.
If the annual precipitation is less than half the threshold for Group B, it is classified as BW (desert climate); if it is less than the threshold but more than half the threshold, it is classified as BS (steppe climate).
A third letter can be included to indicate temperature. Originally, h signified low latitude climate (average annual temperature above 18 °C) while k signified middle latitude climate (average annual temperature below 18 °C [64.4 °F]), but the more common practice today (especially in the United States) is to use h to mean that the coldest month has an average temperature that is above 0 °C (32 °F), with k denoting that at least one month averages below 0 °C.
Examples:
Yuma, Arizona (BWh)
Turfan, Xinjiang, China (BWk)
Cobar, New South Wales, Australia (BSh)
Murcia, Spain (BSh)

I buy all of my makeup off of sephora.com, they have the absolute best, plus they have tools to find the best makeup for your skintype. Also if you have a store near, you can go in and "play" with all of the makeup!!! So much better than the department store counters...

HR is a strategic partner with a company and they align their goals to the goals of the company. They also do things like making sure the company is adhering to legislation around employment law, labor law and in some HR Departments, health and safety. Alot of it is working with the front line managers to help coach them to work with employees.
The main functions of an HR Department include:
-Employee and Labor Relations, (collective bargaining, grievance handling, conflict resolution,)
-Training and Employee Development (setting up courses for employees, developing training programs, succession planning.)
-Payroll and Benefits (pension plans, group insurance, administering short term disability plans, benefit enrollment)
-Employment Law
-Recruitment and Selection
-Compensation (salary administration, ensuring that people are paid for what they are worth)
-Policy Development (policy around things like drugs and alcohol in the workplace, safety, tution refunds, all kinds of things!)
-Health and Safety (work place health and safety committees, accident investigations, promoting workplace wellness, administering workers compensation)
-Orientation of new employees
So much more. Its a great career.

What kind of DAILY chores should an 11 year old girl have?
DETAILS:My daughter who is 11 and a half is expected to clean her room everyday-(Which to me is NOT a chore, its something you should do on a daily basis)
So basically her only chore is take out the garbage....ONCE a WEEK.
She doesn't have any other chores on a daily basis. And she seems to think when I occasionally ask her to put away the clean dishes, or vaccum her room--that it is NOT fair.
AND that her 6 yr old brother doesn't do anything...
I tell her that neither did she when she was his age, but the older you get and more responsibility you want (going to the mall or football games on the weekend etc..) the more chores (responsibilites) she will have. ( I can't possibly see a 6 yr old boy trying to mow the grass or even vaccum...yet.)
My point being-- she thinks cleaning her room should be the jist of it. So I need to know what is a normal DAILY chore routine? (I don't work, so I do most everything around the house) My husband works 7 days a week and mows grass.

Everyday have her do something different so she can get a feel of different responsibilities without overwhelming her.. i read some of the other answers and i'm sorry but she isnt a maid and should still get to be a kid. I would make a calender for the week; one day vacuum her room and the living room, one day dust around, one day do the dishes and so on. Hope i helped:)
also i wouldnt reward her with money. if its responsibility you are trying to teach her, it would be misleading to make her think it is rewarded with money. i mean, do you get paid for doing the dishes? of course not (even though that would be really nice lol).

Wear comfortable clothing that allows your body to move in all directions. Clothing made specifically for working out may be the best.
# Research and discover new ways to stretch. There are many forms of stretching exercises that work different muscles in your body and allow them to move more fluidly during gymnastics.
# Practice constantly. There is no set limit of time or specific day to stretch. You can do it when you wake up, go to sleep, or simply during commercial breaks when you're watching television.
Identify your strengths and weak spots.
# You may already be able to move certain muscles effectively, yet can't do hardly anything in another. Practice where you need it and maintain the ones you are already talented with.
