True. One pound of body fat is generally estimated to represent about 3,500 calories, but for quick calculations related to fat loss or gain in a more simplified context, some people might use the figure of around 1500 calories. However, the more widely accepted figure among health professionals is approximately 3,500 calories. Therefore, while the statement is not perfectly accurate, it is often used informally.
So, based on strict accuracy:
**False (normally accepted is 3500 calories per pound, not 1500)**.
So, based on strict accuracy:
