Today I burnt off 630 calories at the gym..is this a good start combined with healthy eating every day or do i need to aim for at least 1000 calories.

Maybe not, but they guestimate. Weight loss comes down to one basic law of biology. You lose weight if you consume fewer calories than you burn. So Michael Phelps can eat 5000 calories or whatever ungodly amount he eats, but he stays skinny because he swims 8 hours a day, burning huge amounts of energy. So how much work you will have to do to lose weight depends on your fitness level, overall condition, diet, calorie burn level and other factors. Raspy Posted at 6:01 am on Oct. 1, 2008 But are are pretty accurate. rosebud Posted at 5:56 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from Raspy at 10:52 pm on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from rosebud at 5:48 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from Raspy at 10:48 pm on Oct. 1, 2008 Obviously unless I spend 8 hours in  a gym im never going to burn off that much.    you burn most of your calories just being alive, breathing, moving around a little bit, etc.,    all the running and rowing and cycling is just a few hundred extra Treadmills dont lie. yes they do http://archive.recordonline.com/archive/2005/05/18/treadmil.htm Raspy Posted at 5:52 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from rosebud at 5:48 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from Raspy at 10:48 pm on Oct. 1, 2008 Obviously unless I spend 8 hours in a gym im never going to burn off that much. you burn most of your calories just being alive, breathing, moving around a little bit, etc., all the running and rowing and cycling is just a few hundred extra Treadmills dont lie. rosebud Posted at 5:48 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Quote: from Raspy at 10:48 pm on Oct. 1, 2008 Obviously unless I spend 8 hours in  a gym im never going to burn off that much. you burn most of your calories just being alive, breathing, moving around a little bit, etc., all the running and rowing and cycling is just a few hundred extra Raspy Posted at 5:48 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Obviously unless I spend 8 hours in  a gym im never going to burn off that much. HumanJournal Posted at 5:47 am on Oct. 1, 2008 Its a start:) Good luck. rosebud Posted at 5:47 am on Oct. 1, 2008 1. you probably didn't burn off 630 calories at the gym 2. when people say you need to eat 2000 calories, they mean that if you eat any less you will lose weight and that if you eat any more you will gain weight. they take your activity level into account in formulating that number, so if you are highly active then they will say you need to eat 2400 calories instead Sins and Demons Posted at 5:45 am on Oct. 1, 2008 3500 calories burned is supposed to be 1 pound burned, idk how much a kilo is.
