How many calories should I burn a day to lose half a pound per day?
Hey guys! I'm 14, 158 pounds, and 5 foot 8. I'm getting ready for track and football and I need to lose about half a pound a day (or 2.5 per week) for 2 months. I consume 1400 calories a day. How many calories should I burn per day?

A very hard workout, heavy sweating, heavy, rapid breathing for 1 hour, you would burn 1000 calories. there are 3,500 calories in 1 pound of fat. It’s going to be a rough road with little reward if you try to do it with exercise alone.
Your best bet is to continue the workouts, It doesn’t matter which exercise you do so long as you are sweating and breathing heavy) and combine that with life changing food choices, Not diet, they are temporary and you gain the weight back when you quit. A good workout schedule would be
Mon upper body muscle groups (1 Hr)
Tues Lower body groups (1 Hr)
Wed Off,
Thur upper body 1 hour
Fri lower body (1 Hour)
Sat Cardio, (Bike, Treadmill, Elliptical, stair climber.) (1 hour)

your should burn roughly 1750 per day (because a pound of fat is 3500 calories) :)
