Answer 1

DO NOT count calories burned since there is no way you know it precisely. you have to count TIME!!!

find calorie/fitness calculator on the net, enter your stats, take 300-400 calories off that number and that's how much you need to lose weight.
5-8servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water a day
5-6 small meals instead of 3 big ones (breakfast is the most important - make sure to get complex carbs like whole wheat bread, oatmeal, fruit etc)
4-6 times a week cardio for 30-50min, light weight training, many reps
no junk food, no sodas, no alcohol, no white flour (cakes, cookies, white bread, pasta etc.), nothing high in sugar (ice cream)

Answer 2

500-600 calories food wise that you eat...you should deduct.

Now it's best to find your basal metabolism and that's how many calories you burn just sitting doing nothing just to keep you alive.

During workouts maybe 400-500.
If biking a general rule is 40 calories per mile. So 10 miles is 400 calories and that usually takes maybe 45 minutes.

Answer 3

it depends on what your workout is if walking maybe 400 if running maybe 600 fitness tape maybe 250
