not including water. Is it possible to burn off 1 pound of fat a day?
Keto diet - 500 calories deficit / 5 hours of cardio
I am not saying I am doing this just wondering.

You'd have to maintain a 3500 daily calorie deficit to lose a pound a day. All of those calculations of caloric deficit/surplus also take into account your level of physical activity.
Your body would go into starvation mode and hang onto every last bit of fat that it could.5.18.2009: 209#, 22.1% BF (MIIT Cardio)
5.25.2009: 207#, 21.4% BF (MIIT Cardio)
6.01.2009: 208#, 20.1% BF (LISS Cardio)
For a group of people who (hopefully) understand that cheating defeats the purpose of whatever you're doing, gaming the system seems like an awfully hypocritical practice.

It would depend on how heavy you are.

No. That's not how it works.
The key word is DEFICIT. Not expenditure, not burning, not using, nor whatever term you want to associate with what you do to your body's energy stores whenever you exercise. Deficit means that after taking into account everything you do that day, you come in under a certain amount. I'll give you an example.
Joe eats 3500 calories a day. His total calories consumed is 3500 calories.
Joe has a BMR of 2500, and somehow manages to expend 4500 calories during his daily workout.
His total calories burned is 2500 + 4500 = 7000.
Calories consumed - calories burned = deficit (if burned > consumed) or surplus (if burned > consumed)
Joe would be running a 3500 calorie deficit:
3500 - 7000 = -3500.

It's possible to burn off that much, yes. But not in fat. You'll lose a fuckload of muscle mass and end up as one big overworked mess.
You don't need 5 hours of cardio a day. You don't even need 5 hours a WEEK unless you're prepping for some serious contest, and are 3 days before your show.
I surely hope you're not going to try this.^_^

I went from football season (we went deep into playoffs, thus this shortened my time to cut for the first match) and went down to 215, in less than 2 weeks. God I was an overworked, low blood sugar mess. Won the match thought
P.S. I jumped to 260 after the season, taco bell binge eating at night is not that good for you I guess).
