3500 calories is equal to a pound of fat or a pound of water or a pound of muscle.  In any case the 3500 is a pound.  If she loses 1 pound it could also be a mixture of water and fat.  Down a big glass of water and that pound comes right back.

burn 3500 calories to lose one pound of fat

Losing 2 lbs. a week is really hard to do. But there is only one way to lose fat: You have to eat less than you burn.\n\nA pound of fat = 3,500 calories. So to burn a pound of fat you have to burn 3500 cals above and beyond what you're eating. \n\nTo lose a pound of fat a week, you need to burn 500 cals a day (above and beyond what you are eating.) To lose 2 lbs of fat a week, you'd have to burn 1000 cals a day. It can happen, it's just really hard to do.\n\nRemember that you don't want to starve yourself. If you don't eat enough calories your metabolism will slow and your body will start to break down muscle. You may lose weigtht this way, but you will lose lean weight as well as fat weight. It's not very healthy!\n\nSo, To answer your question depends on your resting metabolic rate. roughly 1500/day for women and 2000/day for men. This is your bear minimum for the day... you shouldn't eat less than that. Then up your exercise and you're off toward weight loss!!!

You will burn more calories being cold than being warm.  The body has to burn calories to maintain body heat.\n\nHowever, you are more likely to lose water weight from sweat running in warm weather.  But water weight and actual fat burning is not the same.  You probably want to burn fat rather than just lose water.\n\nHowever, in burning fat the body is more likely to retain external fat in cold weather as insulation, so during cold weather the fat you lose is more likely to be the internal fat which surrounds your organs.  So from a visual perspective you might not see much of a difference, but you will see a difference on the scales.

Yes. Here's a BMI Calc to get how many calories your burn just living\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php\n\nthen just use this table to approximate\nhttp://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist4.htm\n\n\n\nThe next answer just copy and pasted the text of my site just 1 minute after I posted. The third answer has a URL also listed on my site.

1 gram of fat contains 9 calories of energy\nthe thing is you burn calories to get it in you and to store it and such so instead of 4500 calories you might think it is actually going to be less.\n\n3500 calories per pound is the standard number used which is equivalent to 3855 calories for 500 g.\n\nso it depends on if you are talking about a human eating less or working it off to lose the weight or if you are talking about the amount of extra calories you need to eat to gain a pound (3855 or 4500).\n\nweird huh?

The easiest way to determine how many calories you can eat and lose weight is by figuiring out how many calories you burn a day.  As long as you burn more than you eat, you'll lose weight.

In theory it's around 3500 calories to lose a pound of fat. Every so often people have good weeks where they lose a lot of weight but generally that's just water weight. It also depends on your metabolism for how many calories you should cut out of your diet. I  have a friend who runs a lot and he has to constantly eat so he doesn't get too skinny. I don't know if you've seen the Oprah episode with Dr. Oz but he talks about how it's the waist measurement that counts. Also keep in mind muscle weighs more than fat.

Yes it is correct.\nSome things to keep in mind:\n1. Yes, muscle is denser than fat, so if you had no muscle before, you might not see much of a difference on the scale.  Don't let this discourage you, because toned muscles take up less space than fat, and they give you body a nice toned look.  Also, the muscles, even when you are at rest, will burn calories faster than fat tissue.\n2.  Calculating calories burned is difficult.  Don't depend on a machine that tells you how much you have burned (i.e. treadmill).  If you are really overweight, you will burn far more calories doing the same exercise for the same amount of time as a skinny person.  Also, intensity and duration of the exercise is important.  If you are not exercising in periods of time more than 20 minutes, then you will burn less calories.   \n3.  Be diligent about figuring out how many calories you are eating.  If you are nibbling, tasting a lot while cooking, or just not counting that "one extra thing", those calories may be adding up.  Buy a food scale to help you with this.\n4.  If you are not eating enough food, your body will go into "starvation mode", which will eventually destroy your muscles while causing some fat to build up.  Go to a site like nutritiondata.com to get good info on how much you should be eating and how many calories are in common foods.

It depends on your height, weight, age, and sex.  There are several online calculators that ascertain your particular basal metabolic rate, or how many calories YOU burn in a day.  Once you find that out, you can use that number to lose weight by creating a calorie deficit by eating x number less than your bmr and/or burning them off through exercise.\nHere is a link to a metabolic calculator-\nhttp://www.internetfitness.com/calculators/bmr.htm\n3500 calories equals a pound.  Consume 3500 more than you need/burn, you will gain one pound.  Consume/Burn 3500 less than you need, you will lose one pound.  Aim for 500 to 1000 calories less than your bmr to lose 1-2 pounds per week.  Any added exercise can only increase the results, so exercise away.

You will burn more calories with a HR of 165. But if you are talking fat loss you will also burn more fat with a HR of 165. Note that your body greatly changes when you are exercising during fatigue. For example do a spin class and then run moderately for 30 minutes after you will see faster results.\n\nYou can get scientific but I won't bore you cause in reality it's get mathematics and doesn't work out. But in reality everyone is totally different. Take me for example I work out 6 days a week up to 9 sessions. I burn more body fat & weight during exercises that are high in intensity.  \n\nWhat you are asking is fat not weight so in theory the harder you train the bigger difference you will see so in essence the higher the heart rate the more fat you will burn.

Sure!\nDoing all that physical work, you burned off a lot of fat. At the same time, you gained muscle. \nHowever, the amount of fat you lost is MORE than the muscle you gained. Therefore, even though muscle weighs more than fat, your weight stayed the same.\n\nExample: Let's say you lost 3 blobs of fat and gained 1 chunk of muscle. Let's also say that a blob weighs 3 pounds, and a chunk weighs 9 pounds.\nYou lost: 3 blobs x 3 pounds = 9 pounds\nYou gained: 1 chunk x 9 pounds = 9 pounds\nYour weight stayed the same.

3500 Calories equal one pound.\nTo give you an idea on what it would take to burn that, you would have to run for 3 hours at 10 miles per hour.
