I am trying to figure out how many calories i should be burning a day to be losing about 2 lbs a week. I am already cutting back the calories that I'm eating during the day. How do i calculate about what i should be burning in a day to keep on track with my goal?

    If you set your goal to 2 pounds a week*, you'll already burn enough to lose that every day if your stats are accurate.

    *-unless you are set to 1200 calories, then most likely 2 pounds a week is too aggressive for you

    You should be eating 1200 no matter what. What are your stats?

    Which ones? I'm still pretty new to this and have no idea what you are talking about.
