*Source: DietPower Weight and Nutrition SoftwareTo Translate Calories Burned into Weight Lost......divide the calories you burned by 3500. The result is how much more you would have weighed (in pounds) had you not performed the exercise. Example: According to the table above, a 20-minute walk at 4.0 mph by a 190 pound person would burn 140 calories. Divided by 3500, that represents a loss of 0.04 pounds. (Sound small? Do the walk every day for a month and you lose 30 x 0.04 = 1.2 pounds. Do it for a year and you'll weigh 14.4 pounds less than if you don't walk.)
