Brad,
First you need to know your resting metabolic rate (RMR). You can browse the net for RMR calculator. Your RMR, minus 500 calories per day (for everyday) will help you to lose about 1-2 pounds per week (without exercise). So if you lift weight, walk, etc simply means that you can consume more calories per day. However not to forget to eat more than 1000calories per day to boost up your metabolism. Eating less than this will trigger your brain as if you are in ‘starvation mode’; thus reduce your metabolism and it will make it difficult for you to lose weight.
Hope this helps.
