1 lb = 3500 calories: Given above formula, figure your expending 500 calories a day and your body expends about 1800 calories baseline, so, at 2300 calories intake your weight will stay the same. If your taking only 1000 calories in daily, then your net loss is 1300 calories and round it off to 1000 calories. You should end up losing about 2 lbs per week on average.
