Best Answer

The amount of weight you want to lose has very little to do with how many calories your diet should allow. You set your daily allowance after gender, height and level of physical activity.

Going below that level in order to lose weight faster will usually not help, as it can make your body believe that food is scarce which will cause it to hoard whatever you eat much more. At a ballpark value 1800-2000 cals/day for a male.
