Caloric requirements depend on multiple factors. In addition to weight, height, age, and level of physical activity are determinants of a person's daily caloric requirements. A very rough estimate of the daily caloric requirements of a sedentary 160 lbs female is about 1600 kilocalories. However, this number could vary signficantly depending on the other factors. For a 40 year old, 5' 6" female with a desk job who does not exercise regularly, a guideline caloric requirement for weight maintenance would be 1700 calories per day. However, for a 30 year old, 5' 8" female who exercises daily, an estimated caloric requirement would be 2500 calories per day.
The daily caloric requirement for a seventeen year old boy largely depends on his lifestyle and how active he may be. The average requirement is between 2,200 and 3,200 calories per day. The more active he is, the higher the calories required.
The recommended daily caloric allowance for an adult female is 2,200 calories. For a male, the allowance is 2,700 calories. The actual amount of calories needed depends on age and level of activity.

Yes it is better to own a fat scale that displays daily caloric intake as well as the basal metabolic rate. However, the daily caloric intake scale would be more beneficial for your health and nutrition purposes.
Make sure your daily caloric intake is less than your body's daily caloric requirement. Exercise (treadmill or other cardio) to keep your body from going into starvation mode. Do 30 minutes a day 6 days a week. Keep hydrated with water 8 cups a day. Once a week do 1 spurge meal but right after, get right back on track. If you mess up a meal, don't sweat it, just get right back on track. 1200 calories a day is a good target. Make sure to eat lots of fruit and get protein too (chicken breast). When you are at your goal, just bump up the caloric intake to your daily requirement so you don't lose or gain.
