Calorie burn depends on the amount of excercise, what you eat and how fast your metabolism works. You can speed up your metabolism by eating small portions every 2 hours. Like instead of a pancakes, eggs and ham for breakfast, eat some oatmeal and then 2 hours later a piece of fruit, 2 hours later a piece of chicken etc.. at first your body isn't use to it so it won't be hungry and you'll gain a little bit, but then you start losing weight as long as you keep doing it. That's what I did, and along with running I lost 85lbs. Good luck!

First I have to tell you that everyone's metabolism is different, for example if two people eat the same amount of food at the same time and with out excercizing afterwards one's body may simply raises it's temp. a degree or two to burn the extra calories (which happens)so they won't gain weight, while the other's body doesn't work that way and the calories are stored into fat.
If you want to lose weight just make sure you burn more calories than you consume and try to work out/excercize three to four times a week.
Lifting weights and running, while they burn fat, won't make the numbers on the scale go down much because as you lose fat you gain muscle and muscle weigh more than fat...which is fine as long as you don't get hung up on #s!
good luck!

Metabolisim is how much energy your body burns. Your resting metabolism is how much your body burns while you are doing nothing (such as sleeping or watching t.v). If you weigh more your body may have a higher metabolism to adjust to all of the food you are eating (not that you aren't eating the right amount, especially for guys who eat more, just that your body will adjust). Anyway, if you run/do physical activity you raise your metabolism (the faster you run the faster your metabolism gets) and then when you stop running it may stay higher for the next 30 min/hr (which is why it is important to replenish your body w/water and maybe a healthy carb after a work out). If you have more muscle your body will also burn more energy. 2 or 3 miles every day (say 3 or 4 times per week) would depend on your level of fitness. Do you usally work out? Are you over weight? If this is new for you, you could loose as much as 7 or 8 pounds (keep in mind people tend to loose weight quickly in hte beginning , or when a new significant diet/work out change is made). This is assuming you eat the same amount as before (or more healthily...like eating more but of the right foods) and do a fast jog (break into sweat, can't talk too easily). If you are starting out then don't do too much too soon and burn out. Small changes will help and probably keep you on track. This site can help you calculate your metabolism and give your more info.
