How to become in a calorie deficit

A "Calorie Deficit" occurs when you burn more calories than you consume in a day, and it is the foundation of many weight loss equations. The basic concept is that daily calories in minus daily calories out equals a caloric deficit. The first thing you should know is that one pound of fat contains approximately 3,500 extra calories. As a result, a caloric deficit of 3,500 calories is required to lose one pound of fat. If you wanted to lose one pound per week, for example, 3,500/7= 500. This equates to a daily calorie deficit of 500 calories.
