About 1 lb per week.0 -
Nice congrats, ill try following in your footsteps then a pound a week sounds good to me. Going to try and eat closer to 2000 a day especially on training days0

weight training builds muscle ..which burns more fat. But if one needs to lose a lot of fat pounds -- just lifting weights isn't going to do it. You have to do it thorugh calorie deficit and fat burning cardio.0

Also, even if you do build a few lbs of muscle (assuming you are obese, new to weight training, or a returning elite athlete <--which the OP is probably neither), it will not be enough muscle to burn a significant amount of calories.0 -
