One pound of fat is roughly 3500 kcal but sometimes calories are rerouted to make muscle.

How many calories it takes to build one lbs is hard to guess, but in general the first few kilos are easily added if young / new to training.

Yeah I was aiming to be in a calorie deficit of avg. 600 calories per day - so I thought I'd be dropping a 1.5lb per week. Have I worked that out wrong?

Are you weighing everything and adjusting exercise calories for weight? (Mfp does this)

And again of you are young / new to training you can lose fat and gain muscle. Great, no? :)
