Weight Loss. If you want to lose weight, you will need to adjust your caloric intake accordingly. One pound of body weight is equal to 3,500 calories. To lose a pound a week, you would need to eat 3,500 fewer calories a week, burn that same number of calories in a week or do a combination of the two in a week. With a few simple changes, you can reduce your caloric intake.
