Everybody is different and amount of calories needed a day depends on your height, weight, sex, age and activity level.
On average for women its 1800-2400cal
and for men about 2400-2800cal.

there is no set amount but round about 2000 or so for women and 3000 or so for men. These numbers cover the average person, rmember the average is just the midpoint half of us are over and the other half are under, so the idea is to not gain or lose weight, unless you need to. Eat slowly and stop before you are full, it takes time for the food to hit the full switch.
