How many calories do you need to lose a pound?
Because 3,500 calories equals about 1 pound (0.45 kilogram) of fat, you need to burn 3,500 calories more than you take in to lose 1 pound. So if you cut 500 calories from your typical diet each day, you'd lose about 1 pound a week. ChaCha!

About 3,500 calories adds up to about 1 pound. This applies whether they are food calories coming in, or calories being burned.
