You don't need to be worrying about losing weight, you need to be putting weight on. 500 calories is not NEARLY enough, for anyone. Everyone needs at least 1500 just to do the vital necessities just to LIVE. 500 is not enough, at all. You need to stop worrying about your weight, you are not fat, you don't need to lose weight at all, you need to be eating around 2500 calories A DAY if you are walking two hours daily.
* yes about 5 pounds This is wrong. There are 3500 calories in a pound. You must "lose" 3500 calories through diet or exercise to lose 1 pound. It would take a reduction of 17,500 calories to lose 5 pounds.
You should consume seven calories per pound to lose weight, so 1655 calories per day.
I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but if you are asking how many calories are in a pound, then the answer is 3,500 calories make one pound.
3500 calories
One pound of body fat equals 3000 calories. A Big Mac is about 600 calories, So, if you eat five Big Macs without exercise, you're going to put on a pound of weight. If you eat only 100 extra calories a day, you'll put on a pound a month, 12 pounds a year.
3,500 (per pound ) x your weight. For example: Say you are 164 pounds, that is 574,000 calories and so on and so forth.
300,000 calories are in 300 kilo-calories.
500 extra calories would be an extra pound of weight every 7 days (3,500 calories is equal to one solid pound of weight). That is about 4 to 4.5 pounds every month.
To lose one solid pound of weight, you need to burn 3,500 more calories than you consume. So burning 2,000 calories means you burnt about 2/3 of a pound.
To lose one solid pound of weight, you need to burn 3,500 more calories to consume. Then, to lose 52 solid pounds of weight, you would need to burn 182,000 calories.
1 pound: 3500 calories
As a general rule of thumb, the number of calories a person can consume that will not result in a weight gain or loss is determined by multiplying a person's weight by 15. Thus, a 200 pound person will maintain this weight by consuming 3,000 calories per day. (200 X 15 = 3,000) Similarly, a 100 pound person would maintain his/her weight by consuming 1,500 calories per day. (100 X 15 = 1,500) Interestingly, this is one of the reasons it is easier for a person to lose weight in the early stages of a diet. If a person weighs 200 pounds at the start of a diet, he/she will lose weight by restricting their calories to 2,700 calories per day because this is 300 calories less than the 3,000 necessary to maintain a weight of 200 pounds. However, when this person reaches a weight of 180 pounds, he/she will no longer lose any weight on a 2,700 calorie diet because this number of calories will maintain a weight of 180 pounds. (180 X 15 = 2,700) Therefore, in order to continue losing weight, this person will have to further reduce the number of calories consumed each day. Using the following formula, it is possible to determine how much weight someone will gain or lose by eating more or less calories than the amount that will maintain their present weight; 3,500 calories = 1 pound of fat. Therefore, a person will gain one pound by eating an extra 3,500 calories or lose one pound by decreasing their calorie intake by 3,500. Thus, if a person eats 100 calories per day less than what is required to maintain their weight, he/she will lose one pound over the course of 35 days (35 days X 100 calories = 3,500 = 1 pound of fat), or 10 pounds in a year (365 days X 100 calories = 36,500 calories divided by 3,500 = 10.4 pounds of fat). Conversely, eating an extra 100 calories per day will result in a 10 pound weight gain over the course of one year.
