To answer your first question. Everyone is different. Everyone has whats called a basil metobolic rate. This is the number of calories required to stay in homeostasis. Your BMR is dependant on body composition, body weight, age, and fitness level.
Lacey is correct it takes 3500 calories (approx.) to burn a pound of fat.
