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.
The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 report that active women need 2,000 to 2,400 calories per day for healthy weight maintenance. According to Harvard Medical School, active women need about 18 calories per pound of body weight. This would be approximately 2,160 calories per day for a 120-pound woman.
