Current Events > There is about 3500 calories in a pound

(+) Yeah! (+)

So if you eat up to only 3000 calories per day then you'll lose 1 pound per week. Burn about 200-300 calories per day and you'll see even better progress weekly.

Yeah I don't get how tf people are fat by accident

Its the crap in the food. Some of it literally makes you more hungry and some of it is as addictive as nicotine. Most of us eat more than we need, too. Breakfast and lunch are completely unnecessary for many people. Some people need it, but if you sit at a computer all day, you shouldnt need more than a cup of tea or coffee. Breakfast cereals, juices, pastries, etc are all horrible for you.

No.

Yes, a pound is 3500 calories, but only hugely overweight or ridiculously active people need 3500 per day. Most need 2000 to 2500 per day, so you take 500 off that daily to lose a pound a week.

I lost a lot of weight eating 2500 a day, one cheat day a week

But also did a lot of walking and lifting

Ok, but how many calories are in a pounding?

Average person burns about 2000 calories a day. Goes up based on weight and activity but I've never heard of someone burning 3500 a day without heavy exercise.

Not all cereals. I eat granola and wheaties all the time, I feel great man.

Yeah, I need to eat only 1600 calories a day if I want to lose about 2 lbs a week. I only exercise at best for 30 minutes a day, though.

Well yeah, any exercise must be subtracted. You probably needed 2500 day, ate that amount, but then exercised 500 day. That would be a pound a week.

The point is that Vegy misconstrued about 3500 a day.

The only people who should be eating 3000+ calories are serious athletes. Most people dont train hard enough or long enough to benefit from this much food in a day.

We would train twice a day for 2-3 hours each session in the spring for football in college so we needed to ingest 3-4000 calories per day to maintain weight.

A pound of what? A pound of water still has 0 calories.

1 gram of diamond is like 15 grams

OMG. I said yes, 3500 is a pound. And yes, taking 500 off a day will mean a pound a week.

It does NOT say the human body needs 3500 a day. Learn to read.

It is typically 2000 to 2500 a day for the vast majority of people. If people ate 3000 a day, per your post, they would gain weight.

It doesnt seem to me that you did it on purpose, but your first post is definitely misinformation.

So if you eat up to only 3000 calories per day then you'll lose 1 pound per week. Burn about 200-300 calories per day and you'll see even better progress weekly.

To put simply, to lose 1lb of body fat per week, people will need to have a deficit of around 500 calories per day.

You communicated a deficit of 500 calories compared to a pound of fat (3500 calories). What that screenshot/Google is actually saying is a deficit compared to a persons daily caloric intake that would result in no change in weight (based on their exercise, general health, current body weight, etc)

What you said is accurate for *some* people, but a 500 deficit for *most* people would be eating 1500-2000 calories a day, not 3000.

I eat less than 1500 a day and I either maintain or gain unless I fast a day.

Dunno why my metabolism sucks so bad. All I eat is grilled chicken, lettuce, veggies, and yogurt dressing (less than 50 calories a serving, compared to regular creamy dressings which are like 150/serving). Don't drink anything but water and sugar free drinks. Fluctuate between 135 and 155 lbs depending on how regularly I fast.

Fair enough. I just don't want misinformation out there. Helping people be there best selves is one of my biggest passions. I didn't mean to assume you did it on purpose.

You probably need to do some cardio to kick start your metabolism. Just burn a couple hundred calories a day, and don't add more food. You will either slowly lose if metabolism stays the same or moderately lose if you kick start it.

i can't tell if tc is trolling or just doesn't understand that most people's daily caloric expenditure is less than 3500 calories
