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 maintenance intake of calories for an adult is between 2500 and 2800 calories (greater in cold winter, fewer in hot summers). Generally speaking anything over this or greater than the calories burned can lead to obesity.

1200 calories a day are required for minimal activity. It might not be as fast for weight loss as /starving yourself/, but you'll lose weight at the healthiest rate if you meet 1200 calories.
