How many calories to burn in a day when you’re trying to lose weight? It’s important to burn more calories than you consume in order to lose weight. When you consistently eat more calories than you burn, you gain weight. If you want to lose weight, you need to be sure that you know the calories to burn in a day.
If you are eating 3000 calories, then you need to burn 3000 calories to maintain your current weight. In order to lose 2 pounds a week, you need to burn an additional 7000 calories per week. That may seem like a lot, but it’s not too bad if you spread it out over a week.
Decrease your food intake by 500 calories, so you’re eating 2500 calories a day. Then, get up and exercise to burn 500 calories a day. By the end of the week, you will have burned an extra 7000 calories, which should result in a 2 pound weight loss.
