Answers:

Your question is impossible to answer with the information given. We would need to know how many calories you burn every day to be able to know the maximum number of calories you should consume to lose at a given burn rate such as a pound per day. So, here's how you can do the calculations for yourself.

Your daily caloric expenditure is the sum or total of the following three categories of energy expenditure. BMR (or RMR), your normal daily activities, and your extraordinary activities. Here's how to calculate them.

BMR/RMR
1. Go here--> http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_bur… and click on the "BMR & RMR Calculator" link.
2. Enter your info in all four fields and click the calculate button
Your BMR and RMR are shown in red.

NORMAL DAILY ACTIVITY LEVEL
3. In the chart below BMR & RMR, select the appropriate row for your activity level (from Sedentary to Extremely Active)
4. Read your caloric expenditure in red in the selected row and RMR or BMR column.
You BMR or RMR plus your approxiimate daily activity burn is shown in red.

EXTRAORDINARY ACTIVITIES
5. Return to the "home" page or go here (again) --> http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_bur… and click on the "Activity Calculator" link in the body of the text.
6. Enter the required data in the fields (weight, time, speed, or distance)
7. Find your activity using the alphabetic listing or the search box.
8. Click on the activity you choose
9. Click the Calculate button.
Your total caloric expenditure for the activity is shown in red. Note, that each time you click on an activity or the calculate button, the total will increase by the amount of the activity you have selected. This allows you to maintain a running total for several activities. You can add this total to your total from 4. above for the grand total for the day.

If you get lost or have problems, use the help links in the side bar on the left of the page. If you want to lose a pound per week, simply subtract 500 calories from your daily total and make sure you don't consume more than that each day. Here's how to do that.

Forget all the fad diets, myths and misinformation, and just plain bad advice you've learned in the past. Here's the only fat loss plan you need and it's approved the US National Institute of Health.

Eat a diet of varied, wholesome, and high quality foods such that your daily caloric intake is about 500 calories less than your daily caloric burn while keeping your macronutrient ratios at about 55/25/20 (%calories from carbs/fats/protein) And, don't do anything to defeat the foregoing plan such as taking supplements, drinking alcohol, abusing drugs, using cleanses or emetics, etc. That's it. It's that simple.

Here's the only two websites you need to do that.
1. This site has a wide range of information about foods, fat, diets, and exercise with calculators, diet tips, food facts, etc. ---> http://www.freedieting.com/

2. This website is a great way to track calories, macronutrients, water, and exercise. It also does all the math for you and makes it super easy to look up foods to enter into your online food intake diary. There's a discussion forum where you can exchange info with thousands of other dieters. --->http://www.myfitnesspal.com/

Here's my food intake diary as an example ---> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/c…

Good luck and good health!!
