How much weight will i lose if i run/walk ten miles a day, which equals up to 12,863 caloreis a day?

Question

that i lose...i weight 155 and only eat 950 calories a day?

I ment 1,268

Answer 1

3.67 pounds. It takes 3500 calories to burn one pound. Remember to subtract from the 12,863 the calories you would have burned during that time if you hadn't been running.

Answer 2

I am sorry but I think your math is off.

A 155 lb person running 11 miles per hour would burn about 20 calories per minute. So 20 into 12,000 is 600 minutes or 10 hours. That is 10 hours of pretty hard running.

Your stated 10 miles of running would burn about 1000 calories. Now from that assumption, look at what would happen.

To maintain a body weight of 155 lbs you should consume about 2300 per day. Eating 950 calories per day puts you to the negative 1350 per day or 9450 per week. 3500 calories equals a lb, so you could loose about 2.7 lbs per week with no exercise.

Add in the 1000 calories per day loss from running and - well your weight will be, "0" in no time flat. Kidding a little, but be careful. I am a nurse, not a nutritional or exercise expert but, I do not think this is a safe venture.

Just think, another term for calorie is energy, and your caloric intake of 950 is not even enough fuel or energy to support the 1000 your burning or maintain a healthy situation.

Answer 3

That number is all wrong. A 160-pound person burns about 100 calories per mile while jogging. (There are individual differences, but that's a good estimate.). So in 10 miles you'd burn 1000 calories, not 12,863.

Human fat contains about 3500 calories/pound. So if you could jog 10 miles per day, you'd lose 7000 calories or 2 pounds per week, assuming you didn't change your caloric intake.

If you're only eating 950 cal/day, you must be losing weight now because it takes about 1200 cal per 100 pounds (1800 cal in your case) every day just to stay even at a totally inert state (like in a coma). You'd be about 1000 cal/day short, so you'd be losing 2 pounds a week just because of that, without exercising. If you're not losing now, you must be counting calories wrong.

I certainly wouldn't recommend trying to run 10 mile per day. Even people who are seriously training for a marathon usually don't run that much every day.

Answer 4

Tons, depending on whether you need to or not. You need to eat way more calories. Sounds funny, but your body needs fuel to burn calories. You need breakfast, a snack, lunch, a snack, dinner, snack plus lots of water.

If you eat that little, you will wreck your heart and muscles and be very sick instead of healthy. You probably need 5,000 calories a day just to maintain your weight, but could certainly eat around 3,000 and lose weight if went 10 miles. If you just did one hour a day and ate 2500 calories, you would lose weight steady and keep it off without all the ups and downs.

You should not eat less than 1500 calories a day if you are exercising at all. You will wreck your chemical balance and load yourself up for malnutrition problems.

Treat yourself well. Eat healthy, exercise within reason, and enjoy your life.

Check out mypyramid.gov for an example of calories you need compared to energy put out. It is a good site off the FDA site.

Answer 5

I don't think that running ten miles a day burns 12,863 calories. I think your math is off there.

But, generally, if you burn 3,500 calories you will lose one pound.

If you are only eating 950 calories a day then you will probably already lose about one pound a week.

It is recommended that women do not eat below 1,200 calories a day for their health. I'd suggest that you up your calorie intake to make sure you do not have a deficiency.

Hope that's helpful!

Answer 6

Yeah at first but as you get stronger and your body makes the adjustments to make it easy for you to run the mile you will need to run it quicker or run longer. As far as weight loss goes it depends on what your fitness level is now. If your weight is 300 pounds and haven't gone for a walk in a year then a 8 minute mile might kill you. While if you do run a mile periodically then it will help you to lose a little bit. In order to lose weight you need to keep challenging your body to new harder stress levels.

Answer 7

Eat 5 6 small meals a day instead of 3

Answer 8

well that just doesnt add up. if you take in 950 calories, and burn off over 12,000, then how in the HELL will you have any energy. You'll pass out and be laying on the side of the road with your tounge hanging out before you get to ten miles. you cant burn off what you dont take in. your idea is NOT a good one

Answer 9

a pound is about 3500 calories but also remember that ur body burns about 1500-2000 calories a day without doing anything.....eat more than 960 a day if ur gunna run that much u could faint on the street

Answer 10

You will have to burn 3,000 calories a/day to lose one pound.

I think maybe you're at a plateu. Your body probably needs a break. Doesn't sound like your eating enough. Try speeding up your metabolism by snacking more and add alittle bit of flax seed to your diet.

Good luck and please don't over do it!
