Trying to figure out if I'm burning as many calories as Mfp says I am. It says I burned 1150 calories swimming 75 minutes today. But, I don't feel as if I burned that much. Anybody got any opinions or suggestions?

    You'll find that a lot of the calories listed for exercise on MFP is high. I usually go with approx 75% of what they say or you can invest in a heart rate monitor that will give you a much more accurate count.
