To make this a bit more complicated, BMR is a great measure of what you need if you are staying in bed and not moving at all; however, it does not take into account your digestion and activity, so to accurately measure your caloric need for a typical day, I recommend that you see a fitness or medical professional.
Going back to the simple math of calories in and calories out, you need 3500 kcal deficit in order for you to lose 1 pound of fat. Since most people cannot lose 3500 kcal per day, it is generally recommended that you go for 500 kcal deficit per day and accumulate 3500 kcal deficit by the end of the week. However, not all those 500 kcal deficit should come from food. About 200-300 kcal deficit should be from food and the rest from exercising/physical activity. This ensures that you get adequate food to not be overly hungry.
