Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ryan has a daily calorie deficit of 500 kcal (2400 kcal/day - 1900 kcal/day). Over four weeks (28 days), this amounts to a total deficit of 14,000 kcal (500 kcal/day * 28 days). Since approximately 3,500 kcal equals about 1 pound of body weight, dividing 14,000 kcal by 3,500 kcal/pound gives 4 pounds of weight loss.
