How many cals or net cals could I eat at most a day to lose 1lb per day? Any ideas. I've had around 750 cals today but with exersize included (although it was mostly walking) it'd be more like 400.

For a lb you need a 3500 deficit, roughly. I think that's impossible in a day unless you're really tall, obese, or active.
You have to burn 3500 calories to lose a pound.
If your body naturally burns 1500 calories a day, and you eat 1500 calories a day (a 0-calorie deficit), then you must burn 3500 more calories to lose a pound.
If your body naturally burns 1500 calories a day, and you eat only 1000 calories a day (a 500-calorie deficit), then you must burn 3000 more calories to lose a pound.
If your body naturally burns 1500 calories a day, and you eat nothing (a 1500-calorie deficit), then you must burn 2000 more calories to lose a pound.
You get the idea.
