Calories to Lose a Pound of Body Fat

By WLR Dietitian
Juliette Kellow BSc RD
Here comes the slimming science bit…

To shift 1lb of body fat, you need to ‘lose’ 3,500 calories. That might sound a lot, but over a week, it amounts to just 500 calories a day – and that can easily be done by making a few little changes to your diet, being a bit more active, or best of all, doing both. For example, cutting 500 calories in a day is as simple as swapping a bowl of creamy chicken soup for vegetable soup, topping your jacket potato with cottage cheese rather than Cheddar cheese, switching a can of cola for the diet version and doing 50 minutes of housework! Make little changes like this every day and in a week you’ll lose 1lb – without having to starve yourself or fill up on an unpleasant milkshake in place of a meal or banning all your favourite foods! And if you want to lose 2lb a week, you simply need to double your calorie saving and ‘lose’ 7,000 calories in a week or 1,000 calories a day!



Understanding the ‘maths’ is crucial to slimming but it’s also essential to set realistic goals, both in terms of the total amount of weight you want to lose – and how long it will take you. So if your list of resolutions includes aims such as losing a stone in a couple of weeks or wearing a size-8 dress in the spring when you have 6 stone to shift, it’s time to cross them out and get real!

type in the information, including how many calories you aim for a day, and it will tell you how long it will take you to lose those 50 pounds.

There are 3,500 calories in a pound of fat, so all you need to do is shave off 500 calories a day from your normal diet. You can do this by either eating 500 calories less, burning 500 calories more, or a combination of both.

Remember, changing little things, such as getting a salad instead of fries, or taking walks in the evenings can really add up.

Best of luck to you!

Answer 3

By the famous E=mc^2 formula, to make 1lb of matter it would take 40766849157300671958.54068 joules which converts to 9743510787241626874.7455767093405 calories.

Those are heat calories, though. Food calories are actually kilocalories. So it would take 9743510787241626.8747455767093405 food calories to create one pound of matter. My source figures for the various conversions involved in the calculation are only good to eight figures, so round that to 9743510800000000 kcal or, more properly expressed, 9.7435108x10^15 kcal.

Note also that a pound is actually a unit of weight, not mass. All this is assuming one pound is the weight of 453.59237 grams of mass, which would actually vary with local conditions.

Answer 4

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 5

one pound of fat = 3000 cal If you eat 500cal/day less than what you eat to hold your weight, it would take 6 days to lose one pound of fat. Increase metabolism: muscle activity, cold stress, hot sauna. The first 6-10 pounds, first few days, you lose on a diet is water. Less calories, less water needed. Water pills and laxatives, not a good idea.

3,500 calories adds up to about 1 pound
