Determining Basic Caloric Need. To estimate how many calories you should consume daily to support basic metabolic functions such as sleeping and breathing, first determine your weight in kilograms -- divide your weight in pounds by 2.2. Next, multiply your weight in kilograms by your basal metabolic rate -- 0.9 if youâre a woman.
