Question: how many calories should i burn while running to lose weight?
Answer: One pound equals 3,500 calories. So if your goal is to lose 1 pound per week, you'll need to burn about 500 to 1,000 more calories than you take in per day per day, on average. It's also important to have a healthy diet plan because an extra cookie — or four — can easily undo those calories you burned during a run.
