What is a calorie and what is a calorie deficit?

Question
I am an adult male. I am trying to calculate out how much weight I can expect to loss in 4 weeks if I reduce my daily calories in take by 500. Is there a formula I can use?

Answer
Dear Kayume,

There's a formal answer and it is simple: to burn i pound of body fat, you should create a calorie deficit of 3500 Cal. However, what is a calorie and what is a calorie deficit?

I recommend you an excellent articles by Tom Venuto: http://starturl.com/3500-calories and Jon Benson: http://starturl.com/what-is-calorie to learn more.
