I eat the same healthy food I ate when I was a runner. I was just thinner then.
I bet that your legs were shaped/sculpted differently too. The thinner part may have to do with the type of resistance training you got as a runner compared to what you get as a swimmer. As a runner (especially a distance runner). My coach had us lifting weights three times a week and he was looked at as a weirdo by other coaches. Plus, you tend to reach the point where your body runs out of glycogen and begins to burn fat more easily than in swimming. It sounds like you do less of that type of exercise while swimming, i.e. extended periods of aerobic activity.
Myth: People who use fins are lazy loafers.
I use fins to help build up my kick and stretch my ankles. I think my lane mates would agree that I'm not lazy or a loafer. Something gives me the impression that you're not a loafer either.:toohurt:
