it depend on the diet that you are doing. it should tell you what you eat and not eating and why , also how many calories they contain.

women - around 2000
men - around 2500

2000

I think it's 1300 a day..don't quote me, but I think that's what my doctor said I had to AT LEAST have every day.

no less than 1600; unless by dr.'s orders

1200-1500

It depends on how much you weigh and what you do. It varies from 1000-2000 calories.

Your daily calorie needs are 1200-1500cal depending on if you are athletic or not or if your a femaile or male. Just eat the right good carbs try to stay away from bread and sweets, drink plenty of water. Im on a diet so im still calculating my calorie stay under 1200 cal and i eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and eat some healthy protein like beans, baked skinless chicken and nuts

It depends upon your work - if it is hard enough you should take protinous food and minimise carbohydrates.

when on a diet you should aim for 500 calories lower than usual caloire intake but do NOT go below than 1200 calories per day unless on a medically superviised diet.

Your basic calorie needs will vary from person to person. Each person has different jobs and activities that they do on a daily basis. First you need to determine you Basal Metabolic Rate. Knowing your BMR can help you maintain, lose or gain weight, because you will know approximately how many calories you need each day to perform basic bodily functions; and help you determine your exercise needs.This is based on a lot of different things.

You may just have to copy and paste. And remember that a diet is not something you do once in a while, it is a way of life. Think of it as a healthy lifestyle, not a battle you need to fight in order to lose weight!
