If I were to consume 1,600 calories but in turn burn 2,884 calories, would I still lose weight?

Question

Even though the calories eaten were high?

By simply living you burn over 1,000 calories. I burn the rest by running, and doing different assorted exercises.

Answer 1

1600 calories is not high. You have burned more calories that you consumed. You need to burn 3500 extra calories than you consume in order to lose one pound.

Answer 2

Yes but sounds a bit extreme to me. You'd be better off consuming the calories from healthy foods and burning off less - or burning it in a more balanced and steady way.

Answer 3

Depending on your age, height, weight and activity level, 1600 calories may not be high. What are you doing to burn almost a pound a day?

Answer 4

1600 calories is not high, especially for someone with a high level of activity. Regardless of whether you eat a high number of calories, if you burn more than that you will lose weight.

Answer 5

Yes, if you indeed burn more calories than the ones you consume, yes you still loose weight

Answer 6

Trust me, there is no way anyone can burn that much calories in one day. You should eat breakfast, a light lunch and no dinner. Also excerise that's how I lost a couple of pounds.

Answer 7

Yes you would burn calories, but it depends on the type of foods you ate.


Fat for example would be harder to get rid of.

Answer 8

I think you'd burn more than just fat doing that, and that's unhealthy. If you starve your body too much, it will start to consume muscle tissue and even vital organs to keep itself going. It's safer and healthier to lose weight gradually than to do it as fast as possible.

Answer 9

yes cuz u burned more calories than u took in.

Answer 10

Yes thats the only way to loose weight, use more than you consume. There is no other way !
