Dear Countin' Cal, Theoretically, about 3500 calories equals one pound of body weight. This means that you'd have to take in 3500 fewer calories than you usually do, over a period of time, to lose one pound. Keep in mind, this is in theory; what happens in the real world can be very different.
Metric System: weight in kilograms x 30 + 70 = calories needed per day. For example: 2.26 kg x 30 = 67.8 + 70 = 137.8 calories needed per day. Decimal System: weight in pounds divided by 2.2 x 30 + 70 = calories needed. For example: 5 pounds divided by 2.2 = 2.27 x 30 = 68.1 + 70 = 138 calories needed per day. much simpler method is to calculate 55 calories per pound for puppies and 45 calories per pound for adults; you'll notice that growing Pom puppies require more calories per pound than mature dogs since they are in a stage of rapid growth that requires more calories to burn as energy.
