There are many factors involved: age, sex, weight, height, activity level and whether you want to maintain, lose, or gain weight. I will supply general examples below as well as a link to input your personal information for more accurate details in the reference.

Male age 25 height 6' weight 240 lbs activity level moderate:

to maintain: 3,567 calories per day

to lose: 3,067 calories per day

to gain: 4,067 calories per day

Female age 25 height 5'4" weight 240 lbs activity level moderate:

to maintain: 2,906 calories per day

to lose: 2,406 calories per day

to gain: 3,406 calories per day

*note* it is recommended to healthily gain or lose weight at a rate of one pound per week. to accomplish this it is recommended to add/subtract 500 calories per day to accomplish a 1 pound loss per week.

Calulate "Your" Daily Calorie Intake?

The recommended daily calorie intake is different for men and women. In order to maintain a healthy weight, men should not consume more than 1,800 calorie a day. The number of allotted calories for women is slightly lower at 1,200 daily. The number of calories you eat daily determined how much you weigh. It is important to calculate your own personal calorie intake based on your weight, body type and physical activity level. If trying to lose weight, then the amount of calories consumed needs to be reduced. Your daily calorie intake should be increased if trying to gain weight.
