A member asked:

Is a 500 calorie deficit bad for a 16 almost 17 yo guy? he's average weight & fat. runs/bikes 1hr and yogo 34 min daily. he wants to lose fat

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds ok: If a person eats 500 calories less each day, he can lose 1-2 pounds a week. That sounds ok for a normal person who is exercising, as the exercising helps maintain muscle mass, tone, and strength while he loses some fat.
