1,800 to about maybe AT THE VERY MOST like 2,600...Growing teens need a little more than 2,000, and athletes need more, but don't overdo it. It also depends on your height. I seriously doubt it would be as high as 2,600 though...^_^ Check with a health professional first, I'm not sure about this.

It matters how much you exercise. Nothing less than 1,200 calories though. Make sure you eat right and take vitamins and you'll be fine. :)
