    What It Takes to Lose a Pound


    Diet and Weight Loss Tutorial


    Unit of Weight Approximate Calories Approximate Kilojoules
    Pound 3,500 14,644
    Kilogram 7,716 32,284


    A pound of body fat equates to approximately 3500 calories. So if you have a calorie deficit of 500 calories (meaning that you burn 500 calories more than you eat each day) you would lose approximately one pound per week:


    500 x 7 = 3,500


    It's easy to see that a calorie deficit of 1000 calories would mean that you'd lose approximately two pounds per week. And that's a good number to remember, because two pounds a week is commonly accepted as the maximum rate of weight loss that is healthy.
