Does swimming burn as many calories as other sports? Unless you're putting in some real yardage, it doesn't seem like it does to me. I was chatting with some tri teammates awhile ago. They think they're slimmer when they're doing multiple sports and not just swimming. Me too, I think. Anyone else have thoughts on this? I guess I should be lifting weights ... Thanks in advance. :)

I have been swimming six days a week, no more than a 1000m swim a day and sometimes a lot less. I walk everyday 2 to 4 miles a day. I watch my diet making sure I get all the essential vitamins. I have 3 meals a day and 3 snacks a day. I make sure that every meal includes fat protien and carbs, close to equal portions of the three. My snacks include carbs and protien. I don't count calories and have been loosing five pounds a month for the last four months. My workouts are all quality swims my walks are nearly brisk but not brisk.
My bike was stolen so no riding bikes here.
If you go off fat you will not lose weight.
If you stop eating protien you will not lose weight.
If you go off carbs you will not loose weight.
I eat equal portions of the three during meals and just protein and carbs for snacks.
