• The Overflowing Brain: Information Overload and the Limits of Working Memory

  Have you tried gluten free ginkgo biloba bee pollen salt lamps? Sorry, I had to. But here's an actual real suggestion that may or may not be any better. It's a working memory trainer that I feel has slightly helped improve my own working memory called Brain Workshop. Obviously proper diagnosis and medical treatment would be preferred. https://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• The Overflowing Brain: Information Overload and the Limits of Working Memory

  There is a good desktop trainer (/game) here: https://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/ In short, my understanding is that we can't improve it, but that could be very much due to the lack of actual dedicated research. If we could, it would essentially be a super power. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Ask HN: I'm 40 and feel my mental ability declining. Programming seems harder

  Found Brain Work here: https://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/ and also a browser-based versions of Dual-N-Back here: https://www.brainturk.com/dual-n-back https://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I have no idea how to respond to witty banter

  In addition to what other people are saying re: comedians and practicing, I've also found regularly doing a few rounds of Dual N-Back (or anything else that has me juggle multiple memories while working with logic, like leetcode or logic puzzles) almost magically bumps me up a tier on the banter-o-meter too.

• Amazing Improvement from 10 Days of Dual-N-Back

  Found it on Google and just ran with it. I don't know of any mobile apps, but came across this cool, open-source project for PC that might be of interest http://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/. Source: over 2 years ago

• Reports on myfitnesspal.com

  The reports on myfitnesspal.com seem incomplete to me. Source: 10 months ago

• Daily calories intake

  There are plenty of online resources that can assist you. For example, myfitnesspal.com has a guided setup under "goals" that calculates the amount of calories you should consume based on your age, height/weight and level of activity. Source: 12 months ago

• Need weight help

  It only takes a second to put your piece of chicken on a food scale and write down how much it weighs. Then it only takes a second to goto myfitnesspal.com and log it into your daily food diary. It seems overwhelming having to weigh and pay attention to everything you eat, but its actually really easy and becomes second nature over time. Source: about 1 year ago

• Day 1

  That is, of the 632 calories on Day 2, 16g were from protein, 42g from carbs, and 48g from fat. The myfitnesspal.com website makes it easy to input 'manual' foods from my respective meals, where I put in the calories, grams of fat, carbs and protein, and it calculates out the percentages / calories on a given day's diary.

• How many calories do I need to lose or maintenence.

  Hi there, good job losing the weight you have. I recommend myfitnesspal.com. You will need your accurate height also. But you can play around with the figures to see how much of a deficit you need/what your calorie goal should be etc. Ive used it for years, there is also a massive community and food database :).
