This is an important number - 3500 - Fact: 3500 Calories = One Pound.
So if you consume 3500 more calories than you burn, you will gain one pound. If you burn 3500 calories more than you eat, you will LOSE one pound. Simple as that. A great website to help you figure out how many calories you should be consuming in a day based on your activity level and your height, weight, etc. is weightlosscenter.net. This website gives you many calculators and tools that you can use to help you along your way!
A good rule of thumb for losing weight is to aim for 500 less calories per day than what you are eating now...or to lose 500 more calories by exercising more than you are doing now. It is not healthy to go under 1200 calories per day...however..your body will think that you are starving and try to hold on to the fat in your body for "survival" therefore making it harder for you to lose your extra weight.
