It's not about calories ingested. It's about calories burned. You need to burn 3,500 calories MORE than you take in every day to lose a pound a day. It's a lot easier to cut your food intake a little and increase your exercise a lot. If you just cut calories without adding movement your body will go into starvation mode and you'll gain weight on 500 calories a day.

It depends on your metabolism and if you are calorie sensitive or carbohydrate sensitive. Some people gain weight on 1,000 calories a day, and some lose weight on 3,000 a day if they cut the carbs. You will have to find out what works for you and stick to it. Everyone is different.

3500 calories = 1lb. But I can't answer the question as a math equation because it depends on your body type and how many calories you burn. Also a pound a day is a really high goal..I would shoot for 4lbs a week. (which is higher than normal, but easier to obtain than 7lbs a week)

that depends on several factors, such as your height and weight.
I was told that I should only consume 1200 calories a day and I should burn 2000 calories a week at the gym to lose 1/2lb a week.
I hope this helps you!

A lot of factors, including exercise.
A Lb a day is way to fast, try sticking to 1300 to 1500 cals a day and you should lose weight at a sensible pace.
