Some say that diets should contain 2,000 calories a day. That's a good average but the reality is your caloric needs depend on your age, sex, weight and desire to lose weight. If you look up a Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) calculator you can find out how many calories you need to eat to maintain your weight. If you want to lose weight, subtract 300 for women and 500 for men. These are general guidelines only, so ask a doctor to make sure you are doing what it healthiest for you.
