How many calories to maintain weight?

Question

How may calories could I consume In a day to maintain a body weight of 140 pounds. I don't want to gain any weight. If you could, give my the number of calories I could consume considering I don't exercise.

Answer 1

there are websites that can give you that information based on your height, gender, and weight.
There is no universal number..Its more effective by your personal body makeup.

Answer 2

You need 10 calories for every pound of weight, to maintain your current weight. That would be higher if you are excersizing. And you still may lose weight at 10 calories per pound, depending on other physical activity. 10 calories per pound is for no activity at all, if you sit in front of the tv all day, basically. Also, you didn't mention haow tall you are, so your calories per pound could be higher if you are tall.
