I asked a question here, is the answer someone gave me untru
I am not very sure about how dieting works. For example, I need to eat 2200 daily to maintain the way I am right now, I know that. I also know that 3500 calories equals a pound.
I asked "If I ate 1500 calories in a day, does that mean I'm -700 calories?", but the person answered no, to lose weight I would have to start going under 2200 before it would work. Does that mean I have to eat like... 300 calories, and then burn off 400 to be -100? I'm so confused, and I would really like to know what to do.

Maybe give some free advice about: Nutrition?
okay calories are kind've confusing. if you're athletic, you're suppose to eat around 2200, so you're right. but if you don't do sports, running, physical activitiy you should be somewhere 2000 to maintain your weight. to lose weight, you should be around 1500. now this juss 'helps'. it isnt totally effective, because obviously you have to do other things. also, it isnt like 1500 of plain junk. it has to be healthier foods & you have to exercise so you can burn calories too. if that doesn't make sense, try googling it.
-hope that helped!♥
