If you are going to be exercising you'll need more calories. I'd stay with 1500-2000 calories. But I'm talking fruits, veggies, WHEAT everything, less red meat, less alcohol, and sugars. :-D ya gotta go all the way if you want to loose the weight properly. The recommended amount of weight lost a week should be 1-2 pounds a week. So don't expect results in 2 weeks! :D have fun

I believe that it is around 2000 for a female and around 2-3000 for a male.
