Increasing my weekly yardage seems to have increased my hunger. How can I determine the calories really expended during swims of various lengths or intensities?
And when the office hits the all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, how many laps equate to that second or third serving? (Not giving up the food can justify extra time in the pool!)

Also, heard that the three other strokes-breastroke,Fly and backstroke consumed more calories than Freestyle. I notice when I first started to train at 3 to 5 days at an hour again, I lost weight faster than I did when I swam several more yardage as a teenager but I was a lot less overweight as a teen. My weight has basically remained the same for almost a year now but I think that we need to change our eating habits if we want to lose more weight.
