Totally depends on how active you are...and whether you're male or female.

If you're running marathons? or if you're a couch potato or confined to a bed due to illness?
You're supposed to consume as much as you burn. Ditto to the answers above about "a variety of factors." Go get a ballpark figure, and start there.
