Can I expect to see a weight-loss if I have a high calorie day followed by a low calorie day?

Question:

Answer: It depends on the total number of calories for the two days. If your BMR (Base Metabolic Rate) is 1500 and you exceed that by 100 calories today, you will gain 1/36th of a pound. If you only eat 1400 calories tomorrow, you will lose 1/36th of a pound. Check out your BMR with a free web-based BMR calculator (there's one at http://cals books.com) and you will know what your base calorie limit is. You can figure out the gain or lose by remembering that one pound of fat contains about 3,600 calories. Cal Smith
