I would say try to stay around 2000, the average recommended value for most humans. You're young, so your metabolism should be able to keep up with higher caloric intake than you might realize, but you don't sound like you're one of those monstrous 6'3" varsity rowers who needs 3000 calories or more. More importantly, watch *what* you eat. Two thousand calories of grains, fruits, and vegetables is a lot better for you than 2000 calories of fast food.

5'9" 120...little guy. You should take in at least 2000 calories as high as 2500-3000. The last thing you need is to lose weight.

it all depends on how active you are. By theory if you take in more calories than you use through out the day then you will gain weight.

1500-2000 calories a day if you are inactive. 2000-2500 if you are active.
