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.
Once you figure out how many calories you need to sustain your current weight, subtract 250 to 500 calories per day to figure out what you need to lose weight. For instance, if you are underweight with a low activity level, multiply your weight by 16 to see how many calories you need to sustain your weight.
