Based on recent analyses, however, reducing calorie intake by 500 kcal/day should result in an approximate 25-lb weight loss over one year, with another 22-lb loss over three years, in contrast to the current 3,500 kcal-per pound rule, which estimates a much more generous 52-lb weight loss in one year. “You have to consider the time element,” Speakman says. • Carbohydrates, protein, and fat: It’s the first lesson in Nutrition 101—carbohydrates and proteins provide 4 kcal/g, and fats provide 9 kcal/g. What’s seldom mentioned, however, is that these numbers represent population averages of energy that food provides the body. These numbers don’t accurately reflect the calories produced by individuals from these macronutrients. The actual calories available for energy are influenced by several factors, including an individual’s gut flora, the way the food is prepared, how well the food is chewed, and the overall diet composition. Currently, there’s no way to determine how much energy an individual actually obtains from 1 g of carbohydrate, protein, or fat. The 4/4/9 calorie rule is all we have to go by, but as dietitians, it’s important to keep in mind that the numbers don’t always reflect reality from individual to individual. • Exercise: According to the consensus statement, exercise can produce wide variations in body weight response, with some people losing significant amounts of weight and others actually gaining weight. The expert panel suggested that part of the variability in weight change may not be due to differences in the body’s response to exercise but how individuals compensate for exercise with increased food intake. “This compensation,” Speakman says, “makes it even harder to generate a large calorie deficit.”

Read More »In the last several years, “small changes” has become the battle cry against weight gain. If cutting back significantly on calorie intake or exercising daily for long periods is too difficult, the answer, some experts say, is to make small changes that add up to significant weight loss over time. The 3,500-kcal/lb rule has been used to model the effects of small changes and, therefore, the panel says, has generated unrealistic expectations about how much weight one can lose over time. For example, using the 3,500-kcal/lb rule, a small 40-kcal/day reduction in energy intake would result in a 20-lb weight loss over five years. However, using the new predictive equation, that 40-kcal/day reduction would result in only a 4-lb weight loss over the same period. In addition, according to the consensus panel, a tremendous amount of error is built into assessments of calorie intake and expenditure, so much so that, according to the panel, this error easily can reach 1,000 kcal/day, making it nearly impossible to estimate the effect small changes will have on weight loss over time.
