If you want to find out how much calories you should eat in a day to be healthy, all you have to do is take your weight and multiply it by 14. For example, if you weigh 110 pounds, you should eat about 1540 calories a day everyday to be in good shape.

The amount of recommended calories per day varies depending on age, gender, height, weight, and level of activity. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines, the daily calorie intake for adult women should be between 1,600 and 2,400, depending on level of activity. For adult men it ranges from 2,000 to 3,000 a day.

The more active you are, the more calories are needed per day.

The average calorie intake for a male is 2000 calories a day, and women, 1800.

Factors that affect your personal daily calorie needs include your age, height and weight, your basic level of daily activity, and your body composition.
