It seems like you're referencing a weight loss scenario. If you burn 2 pounds of body weight in 6 hours, that would imply a significant calorie expenditure during that time.

To give some context, one pound of body weight is roughly equivalent to 3,500 calories. Therefore, burning 2 pounds would mean burning approximately 7,000 calories.

Here's a breakdown:

- **Calories Burned per Pound**: 3,500 calories
- **Calories Burned for 2 Pounds**: 3,500 calories × 2 = 7,000 calories
- **Average Burn Rate**: 7,000 calories ÷ 6 hours = approximately 1,166.67 calories per hour

This is a high burn rate and may not be sustainable for most people through typical exercise routines.

If you want to maintain weight loss at a healthy and sustainable rate, a general recommendation is to aim for losing about 1 to 2 pounds per week, which typically involves a calorie deficit of 500 to 1,000 calories per day.
