I thought I'd put this in since I kind of hit another milestone of sorts. Of course, it could change in a couple days if it goes the wrong way, but at least it hit a milestone for one morning.

I don't know how accurate or useful it is, but apparently it's big for people involved in nutrtion and exercise related sciences.
