    Here's the formula so anyone can figure your daily caloric intake:
    #1

    Weigh yourself, because the formula is based on your weight.
    # 2

    Now multiply your weight by 10. For example, if you weigh 120 lbs: 120 x 10 = 1200.
    # 3

    Now multiply the product [of your weight X 10] by 1.2 to 1.4 for a sedentary person,
    1.4 to to 1.6 for moderately-active people,
    and if you are very active (at least an hour a day) multiply the product by 1.6 to 1.8.
    # 4

    For example, that 120-lbs person will multiply 1200 by 1.2 (= 1440), and 1200 by 1.4 (= 1680) for a sedentary person. If they are moderately active they multiply 1200 by 1.4 (= 1680), and 1200 by 1.6 (= 1920). For very active individuals, multiply 1200 by 1.6 (= 1920), and 1200 by 1.8 (= 2160). Those numbers equal the range of calories needed daily to maintain your weight for sedentary, moderately-active, and very-active people.
    # 5

    For people who want to lose weight, consume the lower number of calories given for your activity level. If you are just trying to maintain your weight, stay between those two numbers, and to gain weight consume the highest number of calories for your activity level.
