What is my calorie intake if i'm trying to lose weight?

1200-1500 per day: It depends on your activity level and type of work you do(physically active or sedentary?). But most people need to eat 1500 to 2, 000 calories per day in order to maintain their weight.. So in order to lose you have to drop down to 1200 to 1500 calories per day.

Don't count calories: This is a confusing topic because of how people misuse terms. Calorie is a measure of heat when something is burned. You can burn a piece of wood and get calories. With a typical diet you burn carbohydrates for energy(and excess is stored as fat). If you want to lose weight restrict your carbs (all starches and sugars). The average person only needs about 100-150 grams of carbs for a whole day.
