1 pound of fat. I don't know where to look to find the information. AND... does it take that many calories on intake to gain 1 pound???
Somebody asked me and I've got no idea. I've been losing weight and people are starting to notice...I'm pretty educated on the food side but not so much on the exercise side, although I'm working on that. That would be phase 2.

It takes 3500 calories to burn one pound of fat. That means if you want to lose 1 pound of fat in 1 week you need to deplete your body of 3500 calories.

500 a day to lose 1 pound a week. 500 a day to gain, too? That I do not know.
