    Oh dear, so its actually a 4k calorie deficit to lose a lb?

    Actually I read a study some years ago anIF td that calculated a pound closer to 4400 or 4700 calories. I didn't pay much attention at the time but I've thinking in the back of my mind that it's closer to 4000+ than 3500 as well.

    If that's true, I'm a late-middle-aged, just-shy-of-middling-height woman with a desk job who burns 2900 to 3600 calories a day (depending on whether a pound is 4000 or 47000 kcal) without exercise (and I've got nearly six years of data to prove it).
