You Need to Burn 7,000 Calories to Lose a Pound, Not 3,500. If youâve ever calculated how much weight youâll lose by cutting out a certain number of calories a day, you know the most famous equation in dieting: 1 pound of fat = 3,500 calories. Too bad that equation is wrong.
For a person with stable weight to lose 100 pounds in six months, that person would have to cut 1,945 calories per day. One pound is equivalent to 3,500 calories, so 100 pounds equals 350,000 calories, divided by 180 days provides the result of a 1,945 calorie deficit needed daily.
