calories v excercise

womanonamissionakh

Hi all

Ive been doing this a little while now and i love that i can keep a diary of what i eat, initially it was easy to see where i was going wrong.

two things that are confusing me.

1) If you burn 800 calories swimming - why does that add to your daily calorific intake? Ive trained my belly hard not to over eat, yet having more calories left over and not usingthem is stating i am 5469 under my weekly calorie goal??

2) i have a low carb intollerance, i cant eat too many carbs, each day i try to eat less and only good carbs like brown rice etc, but it til shows me 50+ percentage on the diagrame as eating carbs. Im trying to increase my protein and struggling.

i go swiming 5 days a week, yoga and spinning, i am recovering from back issues and have to slow down, a lot of m favourite classes i cant do now.

appreciate your help

am still a size 18 (
