A member asked:
How many calories deficit per day do i need to lose 2-4 pounds per week with moderate exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exercise: 3500 calories to lose a pound of fat. 500 calories a day is a lot of exercise--- so consuming 500 less calories a day with this should lose 2 pounds a week.
