Answer 1

A pound is 3500 calories. You burn around 1700 or more depending on your weight just by going through the day. So maybe eat around 1700 or 1800 calories a day. Just by doing that you can expect to lose a pound every three days or so. Also try to eat small meals through out the day instead of just three. That way your metabolism keeps getting recharged and you don't get hungry because your eating often.
