   2000 calories is too much or too little depending on the person.
   A rough estimate is your current weight times 10 first
   .I am 132# 1320 calories to maintain my weight for lying in bed all day. Add 10% (132) for digesting and eating food
   S0 1452, next times your activity level
   0.2 for sedentary
   0.3 for moderately active (1452 x 0.3=435.6+1452=1887.6 calories per day to maintain my weight)
   So 2000 would be too much.
   You need to plug the numbers to find your needs. To lose weight remove no more than 500 calories per day (unless your caloric needs exceed 3000 calories per day) from what is needed to MAINTAIN your weight. With that you should lose roughly 1 lb per week (3500 calories = 1 # of fat)
   0.5 for highly active.
   Your intake should not be any lower than 1200 calories per day of highly varied foods, that contains
   fruit, rainbow of fruits
   veggies brighter=more vitamins
   lean meats (or meat alternatives) skinless chicken pork loin, round ste, tofu, soybeans, legumes
   a healthy balance of fats, canola oil, flaxseed oil, non-hydrogenated margarine or a small amount of butter,
   whole grains
   lowfat dairy lowfat yogurt and cottage cheese (also a meat alternative) lowfat cheese
   and low in sugar. limit sodas, ban the sugar bowl.There is no dietary recommendation for sugar-
   whole grains-wheat bread (3 grams of fiber per svg) brown rice, whole wheat tortillas

   There is actually a more complex formula that uses your height, gender and age. But this formula is adequate enough

   You’re supposed to have 2000 calories/day. That’s why on the nurtition information on the side of most days it says "based on a 2000 calorie diet".

   It all depends on what u eat. As i have noticed healthy foods can have as much calories as some junk foods.

   I’m not sure about calories but a person should be plenty of vegetables 5-6 servings, 2-3 servings of fruit and up to 10 servings of grainy bread, pasta, rice and cereal.
   Yoghurt and nuts are good for snacks.

   Here’s A link that has the Recommended Number of Food Guide Servings chart that shows how much food you need from each of the four food groups every day.

   Good Luck!
