how many calories make you lose one pound
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. Often, as we eat less, our bodies expend calories at a slower rate (that is, our metabolism decreases).
