This would be based on your BMR (basil metabolic rate) also in conjunction with the amound of physical activity that you participate in. Your BMI must also be taken into consideration which lets you know how many calories you should be consuming each week. The more muscle mass some one has, the more calories they naturally burn. The point is to balance the amount of calories consumed in conjuction with calories burned naturally and through exercise. There are many websites which inform you on how many calories you are consuming, how many you should be consuming for maintenance as well as fat loss. Most diets are based on 2,000 calories however males usually have a higher caloric expenditure than females, and children usually burn at a higher rate. Check out your BMI, your BMR, and then find a healthy diet and exercise plan that works for you specifically. It however is unsafe to lose more than two pounds a week, as anything else after that detracts from muscle mass, which acutally decreases metabolism.! hope this helps;)

It is true that you often gain muscle prior to losing fat. This is a natural process, and it is helpful because a higher level of muscle produces a healthier metabolism. Each person has a different amount of muscle they will gain prior to losing fat, though many people gain muscle for months prior to losing fat.
