How many calories am I suppose to eat per day?

This is a toughy for me since I do not count calories. I choose my food choices and keep to the purest form - like fresh vegetables and fruits, lean protein, whole grain stuff. But I am helping others to start their weight loss venture.

Here is what I found that is pretty helpful. Check this link out:

I entered the weight you are, the weight you want to be, gender, age, height and it gives you the number of calories your body needs to sustain without exercise. And it also give you number of calories u need to eat if u want to lose weight. And then you can add calories based upon your exercise activity.

It does a breakdown of micronutrients which means % protein, carbs, fat you would need
