Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Posted March 7, 2006 My treadmill tells me how many calories I've burned. It also tells me how many fat calories I've burned (substantially lower) When we say 1 pound of fat equals 3500 calories, are we talking regular calories or fat calories? I think it means fat calories, unfortunately. If I burned 500 calories on the treadmill, I'd like to think that that is 1/7 of a pound of fat. And if I did that daily, whoosh. Goodbye pound of fat. But I don't think that's reality, is it? I think the 500 calories is only about 150 or so of fat calories, and I'd have to burn 3500 fat calories to be able to say goodby to that pound of fat... What do you think? n Quote
