How many pounds are in a calorie?

Answer 1

3500 calories need to be burned for a human to lose one pound of body fat.

If you burn 3,500 calories, you will have lost a pound. So, if you eat around 1900 calories a day, drink tons of water, and run for a while, you will lose slowly but surely. 3597, actually is a pound, but if you drink tons of water, 3500 is a pound, to be lost...
i heard that 1 lb is equal to 3500 calories.

Answer 2

Each pound is equal to about 3500 calories. To lose one pound each week you would need to alter your diet and activities by 500 calories per day. (500 calories x 7 days = 3500 calories). A good place to start is at "www.shapeup.org" or with your doctor. They can tell you how many calories you need each day and give you access to other helps

Answer 3

None, since there can be no conversion. A pound is a measure of mass. A calorie is a measure of energy. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
Even a little bit of thought would tell you that the number of calories in one pound of pure distilled water is going to be less than in a pound of syrup!

Answer 4

It really depends on what you are talking about, but I'll assume you mean human fat. You have to cut out or burn 3500 calories to lose one pound of fat.

Answer 5

That will vary a lot, depending on what food (or other type of energy) you are talking about.
