The best approach to losing weight is to reduce the number of calories you eat while increasing the number of calories you burn through physical activity. To open 1 pound, you need about 3,500 calories. You can do this by reducing food intake, increasing physical activity, or ideally both.
For example, if you consume an additional 500 calories per day for a week without increasing your activity level, you will gain 1 pound in weight (500 calories in seven days equals the size of 3,500 calories, or 1 - The number of calories gained as a result of pound of weight). Similarly, if you eat 500 fewer calories each day for a week or burn 500 calories a day through exercise for a week, you will lose 1 pound.
Some examples of the calorie content of some popular foods and drinks include the following:
One slice of Original Style Crust Pepperoni Pizza - 230 calories
A glass of dry white wine - 160 calories
A can of cabbage - 150 calories
A quarter pound burger with cheese - 500 calories
One giant banana nut muffin - 580 calories
All the alum gains you make throughout the day are added to your BMR (basal metabolic rate), allowing you to determine the total number of calories per day. For example, a 170-pound person who runs fast for 45 minutes will burn about 300 calories. The same amount of time spent in home classes burns about 200 calories, and mowing the lawn for 45 minutes consumes about 275 calories.
