I cant answer how much, but you need atleast 1200 (really you need more) to function, without the exercise...

It's hard to say. The closer you are to your normal weight the harder it is to lose weight the healthy way. atleast that's what I read somewhere. You seem at a normal weight to me.

Simply a Rose to brighten your day,
And maybe lessen the cares in your way;
And also, too, to help you to know,
That in knowing you, many others grow!


You have to burn 500 calories MORE than you eat per day to lose 1 pound per week.

 
"How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?"
 
One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it's not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.


"What should a minimum calorie intake be?"

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.
