First of all, as any credible dietician or health professional will tell you, diet is only half the equation. You also have to increase your level of physical activity to burn off more calories and speed up your metabolism while reducing your daily caloric intake. Losing weight is a slow process and if you follow a strict regimen of diet and exercise, you can expect to healthily lose around 1-1.5 pounds tops a week. One pound of body fat equals about 3500 calories so there needs to be a large net caloric deficit to lose a lot of weight. The key is consistency. Check the net for more information, there are tons of resources.

I consume about 2000. In Dieteics training we were taught a rough way to estimate caloric need for a day. It is 15 calories per lb of body weight. So, as I weight 130lbs, I need to consume about 1950 to maintain my body weight. To lose weight, one needs to consume 500 calories less than what is needed to maintain body weight.

you need to consume 500calories LESS than what it would take to maintain your boday weight, every day, to lose weight. a Rough estimate for your daily caloric need is 15xbody weight in lbs. For example, if you weigh 150 lbs, you need to consume 2250 calories a day to maintain your body weight per day & you'd need to consume 1750 calories a day to lose weight. Of course, this is a rough estimate & it will defer based on your activity level.

You only need to be 300-500 calories per day above your Daily Energy Expenditure (DER) to gain 1 pound in a week. \n\nTry this calculator to roughly assess your DER:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html

A pound of fat is 3,500 calories in excess of the calories your body burns. You can calculate your basal metabolic rate (the minimum number of calories your body burns just being alive every day) and then using a tool like Fit Day online to calculate how many calories you're expending with your life style and working out. Compare that to the number of calories you eat every day.  The chances are--if you're working out and not eating excessively, your weight gain is probably mostly muscle. \n\nThere are scales you can buy that approximate fat and muscle composition, but the only way to find out for sure is to get doctor's measurements like underwater weight testing (fat floats while muscle doesnt).  If you don't want to pay money for things like that and just want to be healthy--take repeated tape measurements of your chest, waist and other body parts. The location of inch decreases/increases will tell you where the weight is going. You may be losing fat while gain muscle mass.

First you need to find out your body fat %, then from that you can find you resting metabolic rate (RMR)\nthe formula is: RMR=lean body mass(pounds)/2.205*30.4 this how many calories that your body burn at rest in one day with no activity. then after that go to http://www.healthdiscovery.net/links/die... and calculate you exercise and add everything together. and that should tell you how many calories you need to eat for you Diet depending of your fitness goals. Every 3500 calories is 1lbs

the number of calories it takes to lose a pound fat? In other words, eat 500 calories less than you need every day for seven days and you should emerge one pound lighter.\n\nthe theory sounds great. unfortunately, it doesn't work that well in practice.

2500-3000 cal/day.\n\n200-300 cal/2hr.\n\nidealy half an hour a day\n\nNo...our body itself burns 2000 calori without doin anything.\n\nNo..u have to take proteins, cutdown the fat and sugars. no need to consume less than the required calories.

I see that number, "3500 calories in 1 lb of fat" in several sources, but I am not sure whether that is calories or Calories.  Most people are sloppy about the distinction, so I am guessing they really mean there are 3,500,000 calories per pound of fat.\n\n1 calorie = 4.184 Joules.\n\n60 minutes in an hour, 60 seconds in a minute.

The nutrition books are correct-- 3500 calories per pound of fat is not an absolute amount, but it's very close. However, your math is correct, too. Here is the story. \n\nWhen we burn fat, or other nutrients, heat is produced, which is measured in calories. As you note, each gram of fat generates 9 calories, and 454 grams equals one pound. But a pound of fat is not all fat. It's about 10% water. All of our body tissues--fat, muscle, bone, skin--contain some water. And water has zero calories.

That's going to vary from person to person.  The fact that they don't exercise is going to decrease the ideal amount of calories.  The US likes to think that 2000 to 2500 calories is ideal, but if you're weightlifting and doing aerobic exercise, you can eat 3000 calories and still lose weight.  It also depends what kind of calories you're eating.  Calories from fat take a longer time to burn, whereas simple sugars don't take as long.  But if they don't do much exercise during their standard day, I'd recommend 2000 calories.
