Does weight loss occur when caloric intake and caloric needs are balanced?

No.
Intake balanced with needs means to me that you are putting into your body the same amount of energy that you burn each day. There would be no storing of fat and no burning of fat. If you were exercising and gaining muscle you would actually gain weight.
The only way I could see weight loss occurring while caloric needs were balanced with caloric intake would be if you became less active and had muscle atrophy while simultaneously realizing your reduced needs, thus reducing caloric intake accordingly. You would lose the muscle weight.

What 3 specific lifestyle changes would you recommend to a person who needs to improve body composition?
1) Do cardiovascular Exercise as it increases caloric expenditure and thus will help in the reduction of body fat. 2) Weight Train, it helps in reduction of body fat and also increases muscle mass and will increase you metabolic rate. 3) Least but not last, follow a well-balanced eating plan, it balances caloric intake and output.
How much food do you have to eat to gain a pound?
3500 calories, fool. Obviously this is the caloric intake above your baseline needs.
If you're anorexic and start eating 800 calories a day but exercise do you gain weight?
No, 800 calories is dangerously low and is still far below your normal caloric needs; calorie intake must be in excess of your daily requirements to gain any weight.
What is the best weight loss formula?
There is no "weight loss formula" that guarantees magical weight loss. Weight loss is about expending more calories than you take in. You do not have to exercise to burn calories; your body burns calories while you sleep, sit, watch TV, etc. Calculate your caloric needs based on your current weight. Then, decrease that caloric intake. For every 3500 calories you short yourself each week, you will lose one pound. Depending on your current weight, you could lose up to 2 pounds a week; more than that is not safe and will ultimately slow the weight loss process. This site tells you how to calculate your caloric needs: www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/calculators/calories-required/ The federal government has a number of free sites to help educate and inform the public on diet, balanced nutrition and weight loss. All are comprehensive, easy to navigate and well worth the time: www.nutrition.gov (see "Weight Management" on the left-side menu) AND www.mypyramid.gov AND win.niddk.nih.gov/publications/myths.htm AND
How muchg weight would you lose if you did 10 setups for 7 days?
None. Weight loss is only peripherally related to exercise. The primary factor in weight gain or loss is caloric intake as compared to caloric expenditure. If you eat fewer calories than your body needs for a given level of activity, you will lose weight, regardless of the level of activity. If you eat more calories than your body needs for a given level of exercise, you will gain weight, regardless of how much you exercise. Sit ups will tone and strengthen you midsection. Whether you lose weight is solely dependent upon how much you eat.
Why is it not a good idea to go on a crash diet?
Generally, crash dieting is not a good idea. Once your body recognizes the drastic reduction in caloric intake, it enters what is sometimes called "starvation mode" and reduces calorie consumption to conserve energy, thereby reducing the amount of fat that is lost. Furthermore, when your body has no food intake to provide energy, it turns to burning muscle (e.g. your heart) and even brain cells to secure the caloric intake it needs for you to survive and operate. A healthy caloric intake evenly spaced throughout the day with exercise 3-5 days a week is truly the only healthy way to lose weight.
How do you determine kcal intake needs daily?
Size plays a big factor on how many calories are healthy and acceptable for daily intake. A smaller woman would need to take in under 1500 calories while a larger man may need over 2000 calories.
What is the daily caloric needs for teenage girls?
The UK Department of Health recommends 1845 calories for girls aged 11-14 and 2110 calories for girls aged 15-18. Athletes may need significantly higher caloric intake.
What is the calorie intake number allowing you to lose weight quicker?
Simply, less than you use! However this makes it difficult to calculate, since it is on an individual basis. I recommend using a basal metabolic rate calculator to figure out how many calories you use by simply being alive. Then add the calories used in any exercises you do for the day. This will roughly equal your caloric needs. Recommendations for how many calories below your caloric needs you should consume to lose weight vary, ranging from 250 to 500 calories.
Where can I go to get information for nutrition calculators?
http://www.active.com/fitness/calculators/nutrition/ is a website that has a nutrition calculator. The calculator tells how much protein, carbohydrates, and fats your body needs based on your caloric intake needs.
