To maintain weight, the chart below shows you your daily calorie limit. It's based on your age, activity level, and the BMI (body-mass index) of 21.5 for women and 22.5 for men. To lose weight -- about 1 pound a week -- reduce total calories in the chart by 500 a day.
Lower Calorie Needs. Sedentary people burn fewer calories throughout the day, which means they must consume lower-calorie diets to avoid weight gain. A sedentary woman between 19 and 30 years of age burns 1,800 to 2,000 calories daily, while a sedentary woman between 31 and 51 burns about 1,800 calories per day. Sedentary men in the two age categories burn between 2,400 and 2,600 calories and between 2,200 and 2,400 calories, respectively.
