My question is, how many calories should I actually be eating daily in order to lose about 1-2 pounds per week? I measure 5'1". Also, I am mostly sedentary, I'm a fairly busy student, but have dedicated myself to workout at least three times per week for about half an hour.

Thanks!

I can tell you exactly what you need to do, but I have to know how old you are first....and I'm assuming you're female?
