Eat a high protein breakfast to rev up your metabolism and never skip meals. Eat smaller portions and just cut out junk and fast food and soda. Keep hydrated with 8 glasses of water to keep the metabolism functioning at top rate. Muscle burns fat, so do some push-ups and squats every day. Feed your muscles healthy protein, and they will help you burn fat! It is not about the scale! Measure real weight loss with a tape measure around your waist!!! The waist is the place to measure FAT loss!

This should give you a rough idea. Like the answer below said, remove 300 cals (up to 500 will be ok but definately not more) and you will be well underway.

It really depends on your weight. My gym/health teacher told us to add a 0 on to the end of your current weight to give you daily calories needed to maintain weight. However, if you're trying to lose weight, take 300 calories off of the figure you got to maintain weight.
Ex. Weight: 130 pounnds
Calories needed to maintain weight:1,300
Calories needed to lose weight:1,000
