Detailed explanation-1: -A pound of body fat may contain anywhere from 3, 436 to 3, 752 calories. However, it is a myth that just eating 500 fewer calories per day (3, 500 per week) causes weight loss of one pound. This may work in the short term, but the body will soon adapt by making you burn fewer calories.
Detailed explanation-2: -The magic number of calories bandied about for decades has been 3, 500-subtract that number from your diet or burn off 3, 500 calories more than what you consume, and you’ll lose 1 lb.
Detailed explanation-3: -3000 calories are the equivalent of one pound of body weight. By having a daily calorie deficit of 500 calories you can have a 3000 total calorie deficit over a one-week period, a calorie intake equivalent to losing one pound of body weight per week.
