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.

How many calories a day should a female have on a diet?

It depends on what body type you have and your level of activity. If you were tall and very active, you could easily eat 2500 calories a day, but if you were petite, you should eat around 1700 calories a day. I've heard that you aren't supposed to eat less than 1300 calories a day on a diet, but I've also heard 1500 calories. Try searching online for how many to eat based on your body and activity level.
