When somebody loses weight, where does the fat go?

Well, but you also breath in the O2 first, I think the C just binds to that. C and O weigh similar amounts so it is just 1/3 of the 2 pounds. But you have to count the water loss as well, it is part of fat cells.

How many calories can you max burn per day, around 8000? That would be ~1.1kg of fat loss at 7 kcal per g fat. At a normal day of not eating it is ~300g afaik (2100 kcal at 7kcal/g).

I can't tell you how happy it makes me that both methods for estimating weight lost in a day work out to be almost exactly the same.
