Calories for weight maintenance

The US Committee on Dietary Allowance has published recommended energy intakes for various age and sex groups. For example, a 20 year-old women who weighs 128 lbs needs 2,200 calories every day to maintain her weight.

This value would be increased if she were pregnant or nursing a child, and it would be decreased if she were trying to lose weight. The tables containing these values are available through nutritionists and online.
