Sorry but the amount of fat you calories you can burn from your fat stores is roughly 31.4 kcal per pound of fat per day.

So, seeing as I'm 190 pounds roughly 15% body fat, which means i have about 28.5lbs of fat. 31 kcal X 28.5 = 883.5kcal of fat per day. So over a week that would be 6184kcal of fat which equals 1.7 lbs of fat a week.Beyond that you’re likely to lose fat free mass and obviously the leaner you get the less you are able to lose.
Sure if you take a guy who 280 lbs and 37% body fat, which is 103 lbs of fat. 31kcal X 103 lbs of fat = 3193 kcal per day, which is close to a pound of fat a day which could be safely lost – 6.4 lbs per week to be precise...
