    okay so it seems that the answer to the OP's question is up for debate. What i am more concerned about is whether i can maintain muscle while losing weight. If i eat/net 1500 calories a day, would you say that is enough to lose only minimal muscle?

    If you are doing resistance training and eating enough protein (aim for 1 gram per pound of lean body mass) then you should keep most if not all of it. (That's assuming 1500 net, not gross)
