Answers:
What you're looking for is your basal metabolic rate. This is how many calories your body burns each day at rest. Here is the website to calculate it yourself..

I calculated it myself for you (but I don't know your age, so I estimated age 25)...if you are lightly active, then your BMR is 1,960 calories per day. The result will change if you are older or younger.Health Question & Answer

to maintain, approx 1800
to lose, approx 1500

but calories is just a measure of heat. its actually all about the macronutrients that make up your caloric intake (protein/carbs/fats)

good luck!Health Question & Answer
