After that, then determine how many calories you will burn a week in exercise with another website.3. there are 3600 calories in a pound, so add the number of calories you will burn by cutting calories (ex, if you burn 2050 a day and you cut down to 1500, then you lose 550 a day) to the number you will burn a day in exercise (ex: a 6 mile run at a 10 min/mile pace is around 100 cal/h and if you do this for 6 miles you'll burn a little over 600 calories) and you'll get your daily calorie loss. Divide this number by 3600, and you'll get how many days it will take you. Your water intake doesn't matter with this -- just remeber, if you don't drink enough, you'll retain water and gain water weight.
