Calories burned swimming
Found this on Livestrong. Posting it here so that I can research it a bit more when I get home from work :laugh: The following equation provides the calories that women burn during an hour of swimming: Calories = [(0.4472 x Average Heart Rate) -- (0.05741 x Weight) + (0.074 x Age) -- 20.4022] x 60 / 4.184.

Finis Swimsense
OK, just got my Swimsense and tried it out for the first time today. It synced with MFP and eveything seems to be working OK. My question is this. Does it have to enter the exercise automatically as Swimming, treading water, moderate effort? Can I change it somehow?

Muscle gain on maintenance?

Now that I'm no longer obese, all I'm doing is preventing muscle loss as much as possible until I reach my goal weight. Hopefully I have this right :happy: My question would be do you have to be on a calorie surplus or can you gain…

Coconut Oil
My wife just asked me what I thought about cooking with coconut oil instead of the usual olive/sunflower etc. She's heard somewhere that it's supposed to be a healthier option. I've got no idea tbh. Anyone else heard anything about this or has any information?

New Scales
I went out and bought a new set of bathroom scales. The old one was getting a bit erratic and the new one comes with Body Fat / Water / Muscle %. They also give me my BMI/BMR values as well. Kind of scary when I think about it How accurate do you guys think these % values it gives are? Are these numbers to be believed or…
