Hey! Can someone let me know the formula to lose a pound? I know it's something like a 3500 calorie deficit or something? But I dont remember. Thanks!

3500 = 1 pound
500 cals deficit 7 days a week = 3500
But there are other factors involved in weightloss so rememeber that no formula is actually perfect. And remember to stay above 1200 cals.
3500 cal = 1lb of fat. So if you have a daily deficit of 500 cals, over 7 days, that would equal 3500 cal deficit.
Don't have more than a 1000 cal deficit (2lb/week loss)
Thanks. That's what I thought it was, I just wanted to be sure! :)
