it depends on your body, weight, etc...


a rough estimate is your weight times 10

135 x 10 = 1350 - i think this would be if you are sedentary...

add some for your activity level..


again this is rough...if you are 98...980 calories is not enough

for most women 2000 is waaaay too much. but it does depend on your weight, and also what you're trying to do. if you're just trying to maintain your weight obviously you can have a little more, if you're trying to lose you should have less. you could try fitday.com too i think they tell you about that stuff.

just wanted to correct myself...Jenn P has the right info on the slim down board...

multiply by 13 if inactive
14 if moderately active
15 if really active
