Haven't you done posts like this before?
We can't know how many calories you burn per day because we don't know your activity level. You're burning calories all day, not just when you're working out.
Why not enter your stats into MFP and get an estimate from them? It's what the tool is designed to do. Just use the tools.11 -
you asked this a couple of weeks ago....
if you eat in a deficit you'll lose weight... calculators are just estimates anyway...
its VERY doubtful you are burning 1500 cals from exercise...9 -
1500 Calories burned through excersise? What are you doing to achieve this? I barely burn a couple hundred..1

You're going to have to track your weight. Get on a site like Trendweight.com and weigh yourself every morning before you eat or drink anything and after you've urinated. Log your weight on FitBit (you should be able to create an account on a desktop regardless of whether you have the watch or not) and let Trendweight do the calculations for you. It will tell you how much you're losing and how many calories under maintenance you're eating daily to achieve that result. It is up to you whether you want to eat more or less.
You could also just use a TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) spreadsheet that will allow you to enter in your daily weight and food intake. The most notable one I know of was created by the Reddit user NSuns (so just google Nsuns TDEE spreadsheet and open it up with Google Sheets). Give it a couple of weeks worth of data and it will tell you how much you burn on average.3 -

3 hour walk
Bodyweight in lbs x 0.34 x distance in miles to get calories burnt.3 -

A 3 hour walk will not burn 1500 calories unless you are large and walking very quickly. It takes me around 5 hours of walking to burn 1000 calories.2 -

This does seem really high -- I just plugged some dummy stats into a calorie calculator and 3 hours of walking for a 25-year-old 200 pound woman was just about 1,100 (of course, this doesn't take distance into account and that's key).0 -
From an online TDEE calculator:
I could copy/paste my last response to you, but I won't. You spend the 30 seconds looking it up.0 -

I burn 500 calorie in one hour brisk walking..my heart rate monitor says so
They are known to be very inaccurate7 -

Okay - well good luck with that. So when you're eating all 1500 back and not losing that would be one place to start adjusting.2 -
You're already here. Put in your stats. Just do it.1

Do you weigh 78 pounds at 5' 2"? If so I don't see why you're trying to lose weight in the first place...2

78 kg = 172 pounds0 -
I've walked for miles and miles in 2 and 1/2 hours. I think I walked a 15 mile trail and I didn't burn over a thousand. I think I burned like 700 something.0

I used MapMyWalk app which it could be wrong, but it's a good estimate0

Your HRM is wrong - why do you think it would be right?
HR can be used to calculate an estimated calorie burn to a decent degree - if it's setup correctly.
Yours obviously isn't, or it's a cheaper model that has great inaccuracy.
And there are many reasons it can give wrong estimate too.
Because there is no direct relationship between HR and calorie burn, despite many peoples impression.
You'll want better that HRM actually.

You burn a whole lot more than 1000 resting - curious where you got that from the screen shot?2 -

My heart rate shows
That's just an estimate. You'd have to compare it to real life results to know if it is truly accurate or not. It sounds really inflated given your current weight.0 -

Unless the 78 is 78 stone, you're not burning 1500 calories walking.3 -

HRMs don't work like that.2 -

HRMs don't work like that.
Why
Because the majority of calories are burned by the working of your large muscles, not your small ones.
Your heart is a small muscle.
Additionally, the calorie burns of walking are a matter of much testing and are well established.2
