Understanding Your Daily Calorie Deficit: What It Means & Weight Loss

Question
What is a daily calorie deficit? Mine is 2,154 but I don't know what it means? Thanks :)

Answer
Wow, that's a HUGE deficit!

Calorie deficit is basically the difference between what you eat and how much you burn.

If you eat 2000 calories a day, and you burn 2500, you have a 500 calorie deficit, and will lose weight.

To burn one pound of body weight, you need a deficit of 3500 calories.

So if your deficit is 2154, you're burning a pound of body weight off every day and a half. That's INSANE.
