about a pound. 500 calories less than what? If you're taking in 4000 calories a day, and you cut back to 3500, but burn nothing through exercise, then you will still gain weight, just at a slower pace. How much weight you lose greatly depends on your metabolism and level of exercise. One good rule of thumb is that if you burn more calories than you take in on any given day, you have lost weight that day. Exercise in order to boost your metabolism and build muscle. That muscle will burn fat while you're resting. The more muscle you have, the more fat you burn. It's like the rich getting richer.
Multiply your actual weight by 12. That's your basic calories intake just to keep your actual weight. You should loose no more than 2-3 pounds per week to stay healthy, but also should combine dieting with excercise, you don't want to lose muscles along with fat.

Eating fewer calories and still not losing weight?
To lose weight you don't just need to consume less calories (energy) - you need to consume less calories than you need... So how many calories do you need?... Well if you were to spend all day doing nothing you would use approximately 15 calories per pound of body weight, so if you weigh 200 pounds you would use 3000 calories ped day. If you were to start doing things such as walking, running, swimming, gardening, house cleaning then you would use more calories, you can find out how many here www.myfitnesspal.com/exercise/lookup To lose one pound of fat you need a deficit of 3500 calories, which is the same as losing one pound per week by creating a deficit of 500 calories per day. So to lose two pounds per week would require a deficit of 1000 calories per day, 3 pounds per week 1500 calories per day and so on... You should aim to derive half of you calorie deficit through reducing your food intake and the other half through exercise. So if a 200 pound person wanted to lose 2 pounds per week they would require a calorie deficit of 1000 calories per day. This means they would require a net calorie intake of 2000 calories per day. So they would need to reduce their calorie intake from food to 2500 calories per day and also do sufficient exercise each day to use up 500 calories, then their net calorie intake would be 2000. Food-Intake - Base-Calorie-Usage - Exercise-Calorie-Usage = Calorie-Deficit2500 - 3000 - 500 = -1000 calories
What happens if you reduce your calorie intake by 1000?
Everybody has a basal metabolic rate. This is the amount of calories required to keep one's body functional at rest. This normally ranges from 1000-1500 calories. Any exercise must be fuelled by more calories. If more excercise is being done than what one's calorific intake can fuel, the body will digest its own stores. Fat is often the main store used. So, if you were to decrease your calorie intake by 1000 and that therefore was not enough to fuel your exercise, weight loss would occur. If you reduced your calorie intake by 1000 and you were still consuming more than your exercise requirements then one would put on weight. If a reduction of 1000 calories means your total calorific intake was less than your basal metabolic rate, a severe and unhealthy amount of weight loss would occur. Muscular digestion would occur and healthiness would rapidly decline

Will losing weight with a low calorie diet work?
Having a low calorie diet is not as hard as you may think, but I believe that it isn't safe, since you have to eat less calories and your daily intake of calories would be reduced.

If i do yoga for an hour a day and am on a diet of 600 calories a day how long will it take to lose 30 pounds?
That is definetly not safe. A 600 calorie intake will kill you. Safe weight loss is a healthy diet that reduces your calorie intake by 500-600 a day. For women daily calorie intake should be around 2000. For men it is closer to 2500 a day. DO NOT restrict yourself to 600 calories a day please. However, even if you did, your body would put you into starvation mode because of such a low intake and hold onto your body fat longer than it would normally.
How many calories should you eat a day if your a male 6'1 who weight 408 pounds how many calories a day should i eat to lose weight?
It is going to depend on you age and the is just an estimate but to maintain your current weight with little or no exercise you would need to consume roughly 3400 calories. To lose weight you would reduce you caloric intake from 500 but not exceeding 1000 calories for health reasons. Adding in a half hour of exercise per day such as just walking would greatly help in the burning of those calories also. there is 3500 calories in a pound of body weight. So if you reduced you caloric intake by 500 calories over the course of a week you would lose 1 pound. (500 calories per day)X(7 days)=3500 calories. The idea is just to burn more than you consume. There are various calorie calculators on the internet that will help you pinpoint your daily caloric intake
How much weight would you lose if you ate 500 a day?
If your talking about the daily intake of 500 calories then my answer to you would be-it depends on your diet, exercise, and body metabolism. The daily average calorie intake for a normal person is 2,000 calories(breakfast, lunch, and dinner). That means your only taking in 25% of the average calorie, and only consuming this much calorie could have a detrimental effect on your overall health, but if you want to only eat 500 calorie(which i recommend you DONT) i would probably estimate somewhere about 2-3lbs per week, at best? I am just extrapolating here, but this is my best answer. !!
