2500 : Average needed kcal is 2500 per day. Depends on your activity level. Are you a sit down doing little everyday (max 1500 per day) or are you a runner. Needing about 3000 per day ? Also depends on are you carrying much fat reserves? In this case you need to burn your fat reserves by workout more and eat much less. Minimum daily calorie intake is 1200kcal to avoid acidosis from fat bruning.
