The first step in designing a personal nutrition plan for yourself is to calculate how many calories you burn in a day; your total daily energy expenditure the total number of calories that your body expends in 24 hours, including all activities. . Knowing your maintenance level will give you a starting reference point from which to begin your diet. average maintenance level for women is 2000-2100 calories per day . These are only averages; caloric expenditure can vary widely and is much higher for athletes or extremely active individuals. Calorie requirements may also vary among otherwise identical individuals due to differences in inherited metabolic rates.

About 1500-2000 a day. Atleast that's what they say. It really varies on the nutritional needs of every individual.
