Answer 1

Weight balance is a simple equation: if you eat the same amount of calories that you burn, your weight shouldn't change. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn per day using the calorie calculator http://www.straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html . This is the amount of calories you should also be eating everyday.
