Calories per Pound to Lose Weight






 

 
Dear Editor,
 
I need to know how many calories per pound it takes to lose 10 pounds.  I know that I must stay on a good diet to lose weight, which is my problem. I can't stick to a good diet. But I need to know how long it will take me to lose weight and how many calories per pound it takes to lose weight.

Dear Wilma,

There is approximately 3,500 calories per pound of fat. In order to lose 10 pounds, you need to burn extra 35,000 calories. There's little chance that you will burn 35,000 more calories within a few days. 

 
Because there's 3,500 calories per pound of fat, you should plan on burning 3,500 to 7,000 calories per week to lose 1 to 2 pounds. The only way to make this happen is to eat less calories or exercise more to burn excess calories. Preferably both.
 
To lose weight at a realistic rate, most inactive women should stay on a diet that's between 1200 and 1400 calories. The average inactive women of 150 pounds burns 2000 calories per day.  To lose 1 to 2 pounds per week, you should run a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day. 7 days x 500 calories per day = 3,500 calories or 1 pound of fat.  Below is a calorie burn chart for inactive women to maintain their weight.
