3,500 calorie deficit = 1lb lost? Not for me
Hello all, I wanted to lose 4kg/9lb. On the assumption that to lose 1lb a 3,500 calorie deficit is required, I calculated that I needed a 31,500 calorie deficit (3,500 x 9) to achieve my weight loss goal. I have now lost 4kg/9lb (hooray!), but I achieved that with only a 15,800 deficit. That is only 50% of what I thought…
