Burning body fat: 3000cal/lb or 3500cal/lb?

Hey

I've read some places that you need to burn 3500 calories in order to lose a pound of fat, and other places that you need to burn 3000 calories to burn a pound of fat.

Which is it?

i concur, its 3500. burn 600-700 calories a day 5times a week, and you;ll burn about 1 pound of fat a week, which is said to be the healthy amound.
