If I burn 500 calories a day how much weight am I bound to be loosing every 2 weeks?

Question

I am 21, used to be a cross country runner. I stopped running but i kept the eating habits. I have begun running again and am now burning 500 calories at 40 minutes a day. If I run for 60 minutes or just keep burning 500 calories a day, how much weight will I loose and how soon?

Answer 1

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

Answer 2

Depending on your eating habits, you could lose upwards from one pound a week. Takes 3500 calories to burn a pound, so if you do this through caloric deficit in your diet or by burning in addition to diet, for every 3500 calories you burn per week, in addition to what your body needs to function, you'll lose one pound. Once again, your diet is very important because if you eat 7000 or more calories each week, over and above what your body needs to function...and you still burn those same 3500 calories, you will stay the same weight.

Answer 3

In a very rough comparison, you need to burn 3500 more calories than you consume to lose one pound of fat. Study up on Google regarding speeding up your metabolism to burn more calories through the use of aerobic exercise...

Answer 4

It depends on your caloric intake.. you could take in 5000 calories and burn 500.. so not so effective.
