It would depend on what your goals are - maintain your current weight OR weight loss. If it's weight loss, the rule of thumb is, you need to burn more calories than you eat. You will want to consult a doctor or nutritionist in order to determine your daily recommended food intake. Every person is different, and you need to factor in your daily activity level, metabolism, etc...

The answer is unique for each person. I went from 210lb to 173lb with really just 1 number.

You need to know your 0 weight loss or gain and make a small deficit from there.

People try and eat at too large of a deficit(resticitive diet and to quickly so it if they lose any weight they gain it back). They essentially are trying to shed big while their body is trying to hold on. You need to sneak up on your body. My experience has been (went from 210lb to 173lb) that eating barely under my 0 weight loss or gain number works best. I have seen it work better for others as well.

The ONLY and best site to get this number at is healthsidekick

FYI all other sites are off when they tell you how much food you can eat and lose weight. This has been my experience.

The amount of calories that you consume per day is very relative,

Cos each individual will have a different metabolism, activity level and body stats.

So the general thumb rule is to eat 10-15% lesser calories than your usual needs.
