It really actually depends on what the pound is of, for example, a pound of chocolate will have more calories than a pound of celery.

No, it is logical. Calorie is just a unit of heat. It's like 3500 calories will make you gain a pound of weight.

There are 3500 calories in a pound.
Which means you have to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound.
So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

Sort of. You have to eat 3500 calories to gain a pound. If you eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight.

3500 calories are in a pound. So basically if you eat in excess of this you will gain weight. If you eat less and exercise, you will lose weight.
It's computed usually as DAILY caloric intake, not by food.

Not logical. It varies depending on what the item is...
