Calorie Deficit for Weight Loss
- Losing 1 pound requires a 3500-calorie deficit.
- To lose 20 pounds, a 70,000-calorie deficit is necessary.
- Spreading the goal over 70 days (2.5 months) reduces the daily deficit to 1000 calories.
- This equates to losing approximately 0.28 pounds per day.
- Achieving this daily deficit is comparable to the calories in one fully-loaded burrito.
