I am about 156 pounds and I am 5'6ft. Currently I am burning about 600 calories according to DDR a day

I believe you burn about 1,300-1,400 calories each day just doing daily things like walking to the kitchen, going down/up stairs, or even wiggling your foot. Of course, that number will go down or up depending on your age/height/weight/health and how active you are (whether you're sedentary, move around a little, or move around a lot).

I have an account on fitday.com and it tells me that, with my semi-active lifestyle, I burn around 1,400 calories per day just doing things I don't even realize I'm doing because they're so reflexive. :3 You need to burn 3,500 calories to lose a pound of fat (or at least, that's what I've heard).

Hopefully this has helped / will help you get a better grasp of how many calories you should burn daily. 3nodding

Sort of... Thanks! Wow If I DDR for a whole week I can lose a pound!

Well, I did a whole fitness assesment a few weeks ago, and it told me that my body will burn just over 1700 calories a day, just on its own doing seemingly nothing.
Personally, I had no idea it was that high, but my trainer told me it was fairly average.

If you burn 500 calories a day without eating, you'd lose a pound or two in a week.
3,500 calories = 1 pound
I'm not advising you to not eat.

So, if you're burning 600 calories a day,
You can eat 100 calories of food a day.
If that's too little, work out more,
But working out more can be exhausting.
