Ask AI: How many miles does it take to lose 10 lbs as a 197 lb 6 foot male assuming I consume 1500 calories a day

Weight loss depends on several factors, such as age, activity level, body composition, etc. However, as a general rule, a pound of fat is approximately 3,500 calories. So, to lose 10 pounds, you would need to burn about 35,000 extra calories. On average, walking or running a mile burns about 100 calories, but this varies depending on intensity, speed, and your current weight. As a 197 lb male, you might burn slightly more, perhaps around 120-150 calories per mile. Using the higher end of the estimate, if we divide 35,000 calories by 150 calories (the rough number of calories you may burn per mile), we get about 233 miles. Remember, though, that this is an estimate. Actual calories burned could vary and also depend on things like muscle mass, metabolism, etc. Before beginning any weight loss program, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider.
