Hi there are few factors that affect your daily calorie needs, things like age and activity level. The basics are though as you probably know if you consume less energy than you use, then you should lose weight.
There is calculator at freedieting.com/tools/calor... that might help
Good Luck
Hi kathmyr,
You may find this page from the NHS Choices live well lose weight web pages useful.
Every pound of fat on your body is made of 3500 excess calories you've ate. So by reducing your normal calories by 500 everyday, by the end of the week you'll have created a deficit of 3500 (and lose a pound).
Use this website to see how many calories you need to maintain your weight walking.about.com/cs/calori...
then minus 500 to see how much you need to lose weight.
Hope it helps, good luck!
