Healthy and active: It depends on your weight, your activity level and whether you are seeking to change your weight. Best to think in terms of healthy nutrients - protein, calcium, fiber. Calorie counting is not a fun or productive way to manage your diet. Look at choosemyplate.gov/about for some ideas.
