One pound is equivalent to 3500 calories. If you cut 500 calories from your current daily intake, you will lose one pound per week. Use a good calculator to see what your daily intake SHOULD be. Then subtract 500 from that number and you're on your way.

First of all, 1 pound a day, unless you are morbidly obese, is more than is safe.
Typically to lose one pound of weight, you have to burn 3500 calories.
Most people maintain at half that amount of calories per day, which means it is not possible to lose one pound a day even if you don't eat at all.
And intense physical activity is not possible without some calorie intake, that makes it even more difficult.
A person doesn't typically gain a pound in a day, so there is no reason to think they should be able to lose a pound in a day.

∙ 10y agoMost people need to maintain between 1,200 and 1,500 calories a day to be considered on a "diet" (variations because of age, gender, height, and a few other factors). It is necessary to exercise though, as eating a lower-calorie diet will not help you drop weight quickly. Burning more calories than you consume is how the body loses weight.
