Difficult to Say: There is not enough information to guide you. What is your weight currently? Are you male or female? How tall are you? Are you very active or pretty inactive? Do you have chronic illnesses? All of these factors & many others come into play. Webmd and many other sites have calorie calculators that ask a variety of questions and can give a goal for each day.
