Answer 1

On average a female will burn in the region of 2000 calories, and a male 2500 with moderate / normal levels of activity. People who are more active will burn up more, people who are less active will burn up less.

Your calorific intake depends on what you eat, and you can do what some people do, which is to simply look on the packets of food to see what calories you are taking in (counting the calories).

Calculating it to a precise level is not really realistic - its the energy that you use each day: running for a bus, will use more that walking for the bus; being nervous will use a little more - overall, people tend to achieve a healthy balance through having set meals and watching their weight (although some do not get the balance right).

Only people on special diets or strict regimes need to worry about it too much. Your body needs to sort a lot of its needs out without you consciously knowing (It gets rid of rubbish through the 'back passage' gives you 'mini-cravings' for some foods if you need more of what that food contains.

The most accurate way this is done is to measure your CO2 production along with your O2 uptake. Doctors can put you on a treadmill and fit a mask over your face to do all this as you walk or run. For even more accurate testing, some laboratories can put you in a sealed room, and you just sit there and watch tv or read while they monitor the gases.

Google, Harris Benedict equation. That takes into account activity level. Based on that, you'll find out exactly how many calories your body needs to maintain your current weight. From that #, you can then create caloric deficit per day through diet and exercise to start losing weight.
