How many calories do you have to burn to lose a pound?

Answer 1

There are about 3,500 calories to a pound....soo u have to burn 3500...

Answer 2

One pound equals 3500 calories, so you would need to burn off 3500 calories to lose one pound. This means that in order to lose a pound a week by exercise alone, you would need to burn off 500 calories per day. This means you would probably end up doing 45 minutes to one hour of vigorous exercise.

Answer 3

to lose 1 lb you need to eat 3500 calories less than you normally do. if you eat 500 calories less each day @ the end of the week you will have lost 1 lb.

Answer 4

3500. Exercise is good, but the key to weight loss is decreasing calories. Weight loss is about 80% diet and 20% exercise. You could exercise every day, but unless you decrease your calorie intake, you won't lose a significant amount of weight.

Answer 5

3000 calories cause you to gain a pound, so i am guessing you have to burn that to lose a pound through diet, exercising and just normal day activities you will.

Answer 6

One pound of fat is equal to about 3500 calories

Answer 7

It's not in a matter of hours, girl.
It takes time to lose pounds.

Cut your diet down by 500 calories daily, and this is easy because fruits/vegetables lack a lot of calories.
However, they don't lack iron and proteins, so stick with them.

Answer 8

the grand ol' number 3500 = one pound.....dont expect to do it all in one day though! it will take time. even if you work yourself to burn 35oo calories in one day, dont forget about what u have eaten..... see not as easy as you thought.
