So I wanted to know, say you burn a little under 3500 calories in a week is it possible to lose 3lbs if you didnt burn 3lbs worth of calories?

    If you are already set to lose you will lose without exercise. I do.

    If you lose three pounds, you've burned that many calories. The numbers MFP gives you are estimates based on averages for people your size and age; you very well may burn more (or fewer) calories than MFP says.

    You won't lose 3lbs of fat. You could lose 3lbs but most of it would be water loss.
