3500 cal burned for every lb lost ?

[apadronjr]

how factual is this?? the reason I ask is this month alone my calorie tracker has me burning 66,685, that equals out to losing 20 lbs, I havent lost that many lbs, ive prolly dropped roung 5-6 lbs, now i do cheat myself on the calories eaten, i will enter more than what I actually eat and enter less than what I actually burn in the gym, whats going on here???

I think even if that numbers correct, that would be calories over your BMR

would you mind elaborating a little more?

Bmr is basically how many calories your body burns just being alive. It's dependent many things but you can google it and calculate yours. You need to burn calories over that to dip into a calorie deficit.
