You have to eat all of your calories per day. If you exercise, you have to eat a portion of those calories, too. A healthy calorie deficit is around -500 calories per day, which is 1 pound burned per week. If your deficit goes too high, your body thinks you're starving and stores fat. That is why you would gain weight.0
