Hope he's here in a mo betty ... I don't have the link to the detailed explanation but I do know 1lb of fat = 3500 cals.

Yeh me too I was telling my hubby bout that.....and he didnt believe me

Hiya

Can't find it but RD is correct that it is 3500 calories to a pound of fat and incidentally only 600 calories for a pound of muscle.
