I say yes, because I believe you're suppose to eat back those exercise calories. Other wise you'll eat like 1,200 and burn 1,300 And you're body won't have enough to function properly.
I think that makes sense lol0 -
Yes you should. MFP has some good general swimming that can be logged as exercise.0

I say ALWAYS log your calories.
The day I stop logging I always fall off the wagon. Plus, it's good to see the real numbers in front of you instead of in your head which can be too forgiving sometimes.0 -
This is definitely something I find myself asking as well0

Log everything, and make up for the food (if you need to) when you get home. Easy!0

Log. I find that it makes me think twice about eating anything too greasy or sugary because I don't want to log it in. So it makes you more accountable. It also makes you aware of how much cal you eat on a day that you don't "pre-plan" your meals.0

I don't log anything that is not intended exercise. To each their own.0
