How to Burn a Pound of Fat in a Day

A pound is equivalent to 3,500 calories. Calories can be burned through physical activity as well as through exercise. To burn an entire pound worth of calories, you must balance calorie restriction with exercise while still eating enough food to nourish your body for the day. Everyone burns calories at a different rate, so it is important to know how many calories your body will burn in a day to calculate the amount of exercise needed to make up the rest of the calories.
