Grossing calories and netting

[tyroneweaver]

i put a lot of weight on convolessing from shoulder surgery. 206
So d day I went on a 1500 a day calorie count
Along with a -800 walking 18 hole golf
I’m 173 now
So how does gross calorie and netting work
If my goal is 160 the dirty math is 1600 calories
But is this gross or is the net supposed to be lower by how much

Your post is a little confusing but congrats on dropping the weight. The simple math is it takes about 3500 calories in excess of calories burned to put on one pound of weight.
To drop a pound that is how many calories you need to eliminate. That is not counting differences in people's metabolic rates. But just keep doing what you're doing and you should hit your target.
