Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To lose 500g of body weight per week, one needs to create a calorie deficit of approximately 3,500 calories, as 1 pound (approximately 500g) of body weight is roughly equivalent to 3,500 calories. This translates to a daily energy intake reduction of about 500 calories. Given that 1 calorie is approximately 4.18 kJ, a daily reduction of 500 calories is equivalent to around 2,090 kJ. The closest option to this calculation is 2000 kJ.
