It depends a lot on your individual body, but for a male with a relatively sedatary lifestyle, you take your weight in lbs and multiply by 12, and for a much more active lifestlye multiply by 16 (Or choose a number depending on where you fit on the continuum)

Then to lose weight eat 1000 calories less each day than that total, and you'll lose 2 pounds every week.
