# 1- Rule of weight loss :o
First place ON, last place OFF ;D
Building more muscle, increases metabolism, burns more calories, even at rest. Might have to tweak the daily calorie intake a little to get a jump start on your weight loss.

To lose 1 lb of body fat ( not just weight), you need to burn 3500 calories. If your already exercising regularly and with intensity, and can't or don't have the time/energy for more exercise, then you need to cut 500 calories a day out of your diet. 7 days you should lose 1 lb of body fat.

It take roughly 1600 calories a day to maintain healthy body function, so you don't want to go below that for any length of time. People do it, but over the long run it's harmful and you can't sustain it as a lifestyle.
