Answer 1

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

Answer 2

an average person burns a little over 2000cal/day (1200cal/day is burned just by basic body functioning)
easiest way to burn calories - move as much as you can, whenever you can - the more you move and the more muscle you have the more calories your body will burn
the most filling foods actually are the ones that are digested the slowest and thats meat and fish, also nuts but they are high in calories
walking 10min burns on average about 45 cal

Answer 3

Everyone's body and metabolism are different therefore its not really possible or accurate to say how many calories to lose in a day as there are too many variables to take into account.
