Walking & Swimming daily

eclery · 2009-10-06 19:54:12

Have lost 40lb in the past 20 weeks - am walking 30-40 mins daily briskly & swimming 30 laps (20 metres each) each day too. 15 freestyle & 15 breaststroke. Anyone any ideas on how much cals this would be burning in total? Thanks

Each pound of fat contains 3500 cals. Two pounds a week is 7000 cals, so you have burned an extra 1000 cals a day. That's a lot, so I suspect that there are other factors, like improved diet, in there too.
