Subject: BS: Diet/Math question...
Okay, so my wife, the P-Vine, asked me this morning to find out how many calories = 1 pound.

Hey, I don't know. The ol' gal walks 2 miles a day on the treadmill and looks just fine to me but she says that she needs this information.

Me and the Wes Ginny slide rule don't know much about that kind of stuff. Air correction jets of Holley carburators, how amny steps to the beer box, the chances of the Washingotn Bullets ever winning a play-oof game...well, that's our kind of problem...

Now I would think that one's metgobolic rate should have something to do with this but maybe not.

Is there a rule of thumb. You know, like 10,000 calories = 1 pound?
