You'll most often hear A. 3,500, but no one knows where it comes from and may be faulty

Answer: A. 3,500

Explanation:

The weight of the body is a balancing act. The relation between the weight and calories is simple. If you eat more calories then your body use or burn then you will gain weight.

Each pound of the body fat consists of approximately 3500 calories thus one must reduce the calories by 500 each day by eating less, and performing regular exercises so as to reduce one pound a week.
