Your daily calorie requirement depends on your state of health. if you are thin and underweight, then you need more calories than you expend daily. On the other hand, if you are overweight or obese, then you should have a negative balance of calorie.
In general, your calorie needs decrease as you get older due to lesser physical activity. Heavier or more active people may need more than the calorie need values given in the table below.
Age Group 1-3 4-6 7-10 11-14 15-18 19-59 60-74 75+
Calorie Needs Male 1230 1715 1970 2220 2755 2550 2350 2100
Calorie Needs Female 1165 1545 1740 1845 2110 1940 1900 1810

Depending on your weight you in between 1400 and 2000 calories a day. This year my 4-H group is studing how to "Get Fit and Lose Weight". This program is for the entire North Carolina 4-H.

Your average daily intake depends on your weight. Normally between 1400 and 2000. Need to get more fruits and veggies in that diet!

This is like asking how much fuel does a car consume?You have to consider so many factors like your current weight,height,age ,level of activity and what is your goal-to loose or to gain weight.If you are trying to loose some weight(who isn't)you should consider six mini meals rather than three regular and increase exercise.Life style changes have to be made .
