it would be 453 cals/hour for me - to get yours specifically, click on your burn meter and type in swimming - breaststroke and it will tell you how much you burn with that activity in an hour.

It doesn't matter if you eat before or after....calories are ****.  Its kinda like this: if you eat before, you burn those calories, if you eat after you burn calories eaten before you swam (maybe at yesterday's supper), KWIM?

Generally you have to create a calorie deficit of 3500 to lose a pound (and this pound could be muscle and fat), but it varies from person to person.  You create the deficit by extra activity and/or eating less and/or differently.

Calories are c-u-m-m-u-lative, its supposed to read.

Your body doesn't know what day it is.

Start tracking today, start moving more today...use this below to figure out your daily allowance.....
