How many calories should i burn daily to lose weight?

Depends: It depends on your height and weight. For a reliable source of information about using calories to lose weight see http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/calories/wt00011. However, losing weight is not just about calories because there are healthy and unhealthy ways to lose weight. If you eat healthy foods like vegetables, calories become less important to weight loss. Exercise is also important.
