How many pounds will i lose if i run 4 miles a day?

Question

im 200lbs and about 5'9.....i eat about 1800 calories a day and i started to run 2 miles in the morning and 2 at night... how much will i lose every month?

Answer 1

i found this website that says for every minute you run you burn 11.5 calories. so depending on your speed say around 5mph(fast jogging) then you are burning about 550 calories running. an average person burns 2000 calories a day just being alive so you are burning 2550 a day. subtract your intake of 1800. and you are burning 750 cals a day. it takes 3000 calories burned to loose a pound. so you are loosing a pound every four days. so in a month you could loose about 7 or 8 pounds.
