Under 2000. If you eat less than 1200 you risk stalling your metabolism. If you eat more you have to be very active. I would say 1900 is perfect to maintain your weight without gaining. I've been a calorie counter for years. I'm 140 and 5 feet 8. I now aim for around 1800 because I'm trying to lose a little. I've successfully lost 30 pounds calorie counting. It has been very slow since I did it over a 2 1/2 year period. Slow works best for me, because I avoid getting too hungry so I don't fall off the wagon. If you get too hungry...you most likely will over eat in a moment of weakness. 1900 give you enough to be satisfied, allows room for treats, but makes you think about getting the healthy stuff in there too to fill you up and keep you going. Hope this helps.
