How many calories should you eat a day to lose 7 pounds a week?

Answer 1

You shouldn't try it's unhealthy to have rapid weight loss. Try to loose 2-3 lbs a week

IMPROVING ANSWER: For each pound you want to lose, you need to have a DIFFERENCE of about 3,600 calories between how many calories you eat and how many calories your body burns up (through a combination of normal day-to-day living plus exercise)

Answer 2

To lose 8 pounds- you will have to consume a deficit of 20,000.

The average woman only needs 14,000calories a week

The average man only needs to eat 17,500

To succeed you could have 0 calories a day and would have to be burning 1000 calories of extra exercise a day or 500 if you are a man

A pretty impossible/unhealthy challenge

Answer 3

That depends on your normal daily metabolism rates. However, to lose 5 pounds of fat

you need to eventually create a caloric deficit of 5 x 3600 or approximately 18,000 calories.
