Is it 3500??

Yup, 3400-3600 calories is roughly one pound. So not eating one 350 calorie desert would theoretically lose a pound of weight every 10 days or so. Your body is not a car engine as your metabolism is not constant. So, the numbers are somewhat relative. Add exercise too a decreased caloric intake will increase weightloss because you are using up your energy stores faster than dieting alone. Increasing you muscle mass will help trim you down because a lean muscle takes up less space than fat, and muscle tissue uses much, much more energy than fat cells.

If you burn 3500 calories, you will lose one pound of body weight.
