Not much help I kno sorry and no easy solution, but U did ask for a formula so...

1lb. weight loss = burning 3500 calories + (amount of calories you eat in a day)
But remember that initially dieters will lose a bit of water weight as well so you can lose 5 pounds in a day if you are cutting calories and carbs.
