HOW MANY CALORIES DO YOU BURN?

How Many Calories Do You Burn




The best way to lose pounds is to know how many calories you burn in a day. To lose a pound of fat each week, you should eat 500 calories less per day than it takes to maintain your weight. Use the calculator below to estimate your daily calorie burn and then subtract 500 calories to get your daily calorie intake to lose 1 pound per week.



Why subtract 500 calories? It takes a deficit of 3500 calories to burn 1 pound of fat. If you maintain a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day, in one week (7 days) you will burned through 1 pound of fat or 3500 excess calories. This method is a slight over-simplification of how weight loss works but it is a good “rule-of-thumb” for most people trying to lose weight.
