What is the right amount of calories to burn per day in order to get results? Also what is the daily calorie limit which would not cause gain in weight or would not be stored as fat?

In order to MAINTAIN your ideal weight, you must eat your weight X15. So if you get down to your ideal weight of , for example, 120, you would have to eat 120X15=1800 calories per day, assuming you're doing a normal amount of exercise. There are 3500 calories in a pound.
Those are the facts, so I guess it's time to get out the calculator! Normally, when you're trying to lose, you should eat 1000-1200 calories a day. Walking is a great exercise for your whole body. 20-30 minutes of a brisk walk (without stopping) is great every day. I do the treadmill. Swimming is great, walking, jogging, or even the stationary bike. Of course, no fast food, fried food, sugar, or soda pop.
Bless you and Good luck!
