Im working out so how many calories burned to lose a pound?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3500: You have to have a deficit of 3500 calories to lose a pound. Let's say you require 2000 cal/day to maintain your current weight. You ingest 1800 calories and burn an extra 300 through exercise. That will result in a deficit of 500 calories. Do this every day (500 cal x 7 days), and you will lose one pound/week.
