Answer by  MK92 (28)

The amount of calorie intake can vary from person to person. The average person should have a calorie intake of 1200 to 1400 calories. A person trying to lose weight should know that it takes approximately 3500 calories to lose 1 pound.

A lot depends on your current weight and body fat percentage. However, 2000 calories is a good starting point. Start there and gradually reduce you caloric intake to lose weight.

There are so many factors to take into consideration in the weight loss arena. Male or female, age etc. However one notable doctor says anyone can lose weight on 800 calories per day. However other sources think the number should not be under 1,000 - 1,200 calories per day.

1200 calories( but never below that amount) for a man or woman should ensure slow but steady weight loss even for those with a sedentary lifestyle but it does depend on how much you want to lose, and ypur size to begin with.
