As a fitness expert with a background in exercise science, I can tell you that the number of squats you need to do in a day can vary greatly depending on your fitness goals, current fitness level, and the type of squats you are performing.
For beginners, starting with a manageable number like 15 squats per set and doing 2 to 3 sets can be a good starting point to build strength and endurance without risking injury.
As you progress and become more intermediate, you might increase the number of squats to 20 to 30 per set and perform 3 to 4 sets.
Advanced individuals might perform 4 to 5 sets with 30 or more squats per set, or even incorporate more challenging variations of squats.
It's important to listen to your body and progress at a pace that is comfortable for you. Also, it's crucial to maintain proper form to prevent injuries and to ensure you're effectively targeting the right muscles.
Remember, consistency is key, and it's better to do a few squats consistently than to do a large number and then stop.
And always consult with a professional before starting any new exercise regimen.

50 squats in one day is too difficult for most beginners, and even if you could do 250 squats with perfect form, you will be training for muscular endurance rather than strength (which is what leads to the toned look). It's the same reason you wouldn't do 50+ reps of an exercise in the gym.
