It's not a meal that counts but the whole day's caloric intake.
There are sources that will estimate your daily caloric requirements; try a google search. it depends on your age, height, sex, weight, daily physical activity and any exercise program. Even then it is only an estimate and can be different for different people. However, it is a good starting point.
Here are a few that I found:

and there are many more.

Eat nourishing food with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables being part of it. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will activate signal to the brain as soon as u have had enough. Besides this change in eating style, take regular light exercises and brisk walks every day. U will be able to gain/shed all extra weight gracefully and in a reasonable time span.

I vaguely remember from my calorie counting days, that 2200 for a whole day was good for a 5"3" 20 yr old,-------so 1/3 of that per meal?------so for your height----maybe 2600 per day divided by 3?
