How Many Calories = Pound of Fat?Calories pound of fat? Calories pound of fat? Carol couldn't get the question out of her head. She just knew there had to be a logical way quick weight loss would add up. And she's right. It all starts with knowing the "calories pound of fat" formula Or "How many calories equal a pound of fat?"
Well, let's look at how to get rid of that fat. Cut 3500 Calories Lose Pound of FatNow you could focus on reducing your calorie intake by 3500 calories a week. That's certainly one way to go.But it's actually better if you do this instead. What you need to do is combine lower calorie intake with higher calorie burn. That is if you want to lose a pound of fat a week, you need to combine reducing and/or burning off 3500 calories. That's not so hard, now is it? You see, to lose a pound of fat a week you need to create a calorie deficit of about 3500 calories. Pound of fat disappears for each 3500 calories you burn or avoid - in other words. But instead of 3500 calories per week let's narrow it down to 500 per day. Eliminating 500 calories a day by combining a low fat diet and exercise means you'll lose a pound of fat each week. Plus you get another benefit. With exercise comes more muscle tone. And did you know that for every pound of muscle you add fifty extra calories are burned every day? So you're losing weight even when you sleep! Well it's true. More muscle by itself generates more metabolic activity which requires more calories.
