not sure girlie but i want to know too!!lol

depends on your overall height and body frame and your level of exercise etc..but for an average 20 something female about 1800 calories per day. This varies by your height, weight and activity level. Doctors can recommend anywhere from 1,200 to 2,000 or more a day. Talk to your doctor about a healthy diet for your body.


no less than 1500 regardless of weight


It depends on your age and other body factors. I think the average is 2000 calories. If you're trying to lose weight you want to eat less calories than you burn. You can figure out how many calories (roughly) you burn in a day by calculating your Basal Metabolic Rate. Do a google search for that, and it should come up. Good luck!

Your caloric intake is related to a variety of factors- body size (BMI), metabolism, and activity levels. Someone who is overweight and has very low activity levels would need to eat less than someone who is very active and rail-thin. Some rough figures say that adult women need between 1750-2000 calories/day, but you need to evaluate it based on your body make-up and activity levels. Good luck! Doctors recommend that you should eat 2000 calories a day to stay "healthy". I know for a fact though, that a vast majority of adults and teenagers go over this calorie amount every day so I would say a more moderate amount for a woman who works out daily and isn't lazy would be about 2400 calories. I, for example, play a lot of sports and eat about 2500-3000 calories a day and I still way 160 lbs. and have 2 percent body fat.


Depends on : Your age, sex, weight, height, level of physical activity. There is no "One size fits all" answer. Think about it. Does an old jack russel eat the same as young German Sheppard. No.Same for Humans. A young prego women would need less calories than an inactive 50 year old.


To determine your approximate caloric needs, you can easily compute your basal metabolic rate. This is the number of calories your body needs to maintain its basic functions and your current weight. You can determine your BMR by multiplying your current weight by 10. For example, if you weigh 180 pounds, then eating 1,800 calories a day would be your BMR.

It depends on your size, sex, and age. For a teen-aged girl with no weight problems, you should intake about 1600-1800 calories per day. For boys, it's more like 2000-2200..since they tend to burn more calories. Also, you need to take into account just how much exercise you're getting.. minimally, anyone needs about 1600 calories to maintain their current weight. still, for most peolpe, esp, teens, it should be more. As you get older, you might take in less.. but only if you're not exercising as much!
