For someone who is clinically underweight and has been encouraged by their doctor to gain a few pounds, how many calories per day should someone consume to gain 2 pounds in two weeks assuming they burn 2000 calories per day?

Respuesta :

I think the answer to the question is 500 calories per day.

Answer:

2500 total calories per day.


Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that 3500 excess calories produces 1 pound gain, 7000 excess calories required for 2 pound gain


to be accomplished in 14 days


7000/14 = 500 excess calories per day

2000 required calories per day

2500 total calories per day.
