Your BMR, or basal metabolic rate (metabolism), is the energy (measured in calories) expended by the body at rest to maintain normal bodily functions. \n\nEach Person has a different Metabolism.  It all depends on Male/Female and current weight.  Your metabolism decides how many calories you burn doing nothing.  1st I would have to know your sex weight and height to tell you how many calories you burn doing nothing. Then you figure in the 500 calories that you have already burn. \n\nHere is a website where you can input all of your info and it will calculate it for you.  Just remember 3500 calories = a pound.  So take that into consideration when losing weight.\nhttp://www.internetfitness.com/calculators/bmr.htm

I guess that depends on how you feel... would you be happier if you were a little lighter and toned up? If so, then by all means, go on a diet & get some exercise.\n\nHere are some tips for you...\nIt's a simple formula. Every 3500 calories equals 1 pound. You decide how you want to get rid of it- diet, exercise or whatever (a combination is best), but you'll need to get rid of 3500 calories to lose 1 pound of fat in a week.\n\nJust eat healthy, and less quantity... Lots of exercise, water, and eating several small meals throughout the day is key. Doesn't matter what kind of cardio you do, just start burning those calories.\n\nGood Luck!!

1 calorie = 4.184 Joules\n1 Joule = 1 watt-second, so\n1calorie (C) = 4.184 w-s\n(100 C/hr)(1 hr/3600 s)(4.184 w-s/C) =\n0.11622... watts

A calorie is a calorie. 3500 calories, regardless of where it comes from (fat/carbs/protein/alcohol), can create 1 lb of fat. Current diet recommendations specify a percentage of calories from fat, typically 20-30% of your daily food. Problem is, 1 gram of fat provides 9 calories, whereas 1 gram of carbohydrates or protein is only 4. So....an equal amount of fat will have more than twice as many calories than an equal amount of carb/prot.\n\nThe calories from fat is just a way for you to see how much of the food is fat. However, they simply list how many calories come from fat - the rest from prot/carbs. A "better" way (and companies won't do this) is to simply divide the fat calories by total calories, so you can see what the % is (you can do this yourself of course). Then, when you see that a hotdog is 90% fat and you are trying to hit 20-30% per day, you might think twice!\n\nJohn

It depends on your body compitison. One pound of Muscle burns more calories that one pound of fat. The more muscle you have the more calories you will burn in a day.  The average 150 lb person burns about 1650 calories a day. But it depends on your activites and body compisition so it can vary greatly. Try using an online calculator to check for your self.

Reduce to a balanced 1200-1300 a day diet and do about 30 minutes of aerobic exercise a day.\n\nFor every 3500 calories deficit, you will lose one pound.\n\nEating fewer than 1200 a day is dangerous, and low carb diets were shown to be dangerous when they were a fad in the 1960s.\n\nIt is dangerous to lose more than about 2 pounds a week.

That's alot to eat for anyone....it takes 3500 calories to gain a pound. Now you would have to take the amount of calories you have burnt all day and subtract it from the 10,000...whatever is left over is going to go towards gaining.....

3,500 calories = one pound.  If you burn 3,500 calories, you will lose a pound in caloric energie, but depending on what type of exercise, you might not lose exactly a pound due to increased muscle mass.  For fat burning, you want to do things like walk instead of run, because running is a cardivascular exercise, and gets your heart rate going, but walking is better for fat burning because your heart doesn't have to work as hard and you will be in the "fat burning zone"

Your request is impossible.  One pound lost means you burning 3500 calories to get it off.  3500 OVER and ABOVE waht you are eating have got to be burned.  At a 1000 calorie deficit per day, that is still only 3.5 lbs. a week.\n\nInstead, try losing it about as slowly as you put it on.  I KNOW you didnt' gain 10 lbs. a week!\n\nEat less, exercise more.  It will slowly and steadily come off.  The steadily is the crucial word here.  Don't play w/ your health trying to lose weight fast.

I see that number, "3500 calories in 1 lb of fat" in several sources, but I am not sure whether that is calories or Calories.  Most people are sloppy about the distinction, so I am guessing they really mean there are 3,500,000 calories per pound of fat.\n\n1 calorie = 4.184 Joules.\n\n60 minutes in an hour, 60 seconds in a minute.
