well, subtract 500 cals from the cals ur eating now. that should be around 1200 to 1500. even 1600 is fine as log as its healthy food!

It really depends but I heard between 1200-1500 a day. The best way to find out is by asking your doctor because they know you personally and can give you the best number depending on certain factors. Plus, they might be able to give you other ideas. Good luck! *Ray*Ray*

1200-1700, I think. Don't really know, it depends on height, weight, sex, and activity level.

Men's BMR = 1 X Body weight (kg) X 24
Women's BMR = .9 X Body weight (kg) X 24
Get that answer and that is the number of calories you need in a day to maintain your weight, that is if all you did was sit all day, if you are active, that can be bumped up a little bit.
