Umm. If you're on a REAL diet, I'd say limit yourself to 1000 cals/day. If you're dieting to lose only a few pounds, try 1500. Of course, it all depends. The national average for which all foods are based on is 2000 cal/day. Kids/teens are recommended to eat even 3000+. I am a teenage male, and I eat no more than 2000. I am not on a diet, but I can function fine on 1500 cal/day, and there's no need for me to pig out. =D But please BE CAREFUL! Don't over-do it. If you stick with your plan for all week, give yourself a treat on Friday. =) That's how a lot of my friends diet. It gives them motivation. Good luck!\n\n***SORRY, I THOUGHT YOU SAID CALORIES, NOT CARBS. AT ANY RATE, CALORIE COUNTING WILL GET YOU FURTHER IN THE LONG RUN.***

That would depend on how many calories you consume each day. On a 1500 calorie diet, 30% would be 450. On a 2000 calorie diet 30% would be 600. Figure out how many calories you consume, then multiply that number by .3 to see how many fat calories you are allowed.

Around 300 calories, that would put you at 1500-1800 per day which is about what one needs to maintain their weight. If you start losing or gaining then you will know you need to alter your calorie intake but that is a good place to start. :-)

A good place to get calorie information is:\nhttp://www.thecaloriecounter.com/\n\nYou will also need to know the weight of the food.  For 71g it is 148 cal and 7g fat.

about 2200-2500--(given you are sedentary...if you play sports, you need to eat even more) your body is still growing and you need the extra cals to grow\n\nbut make sure its good calories--nutritious calories and not bad junk food calories

It's 3500 calories.  And no it's not that simple as some will lead you to believe.  \n\nYou don't mention anything about your diet so I don't actually know how many calories you're consuming on a daily basis (or what foods).  The main idea is to maintain a calorie deficit so if you're not losing weight, chances are you're consuming more than your expending.\n\nMake sure you make wise food decisions:\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/nutrition/articles/healthyeating.html.\n\nTry and make sure your last meal is 5 hours before you sleep.  If you must have something after that point it should only be a protein shake or water.  Stick to complex carbs (brown rice, potatoes) before 6pm and no carbs after 6pm.  Balance acid forming foods with base forming food to optimize digestion.\nhttp://preventdisease.com/fitness/nutrition/articles/acid_alkaline.html#\n\nCutting 500 calories a day will do nothing if your exceeding your calorie expediture.  For energy requirements, the first thing you have to do is assess your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)& AMR (Active Metabolic Rate) to assess your daily energy requirements. \n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html\n\nOnce you have established how many calories you burn per day, your goal should then be to maintain the calorie deficit on a daily basis for gradual weight loss is achieved.  If your goal is to cut back on 500 calories through exercise and your combined BMR & AMR is 3000, then you better be sure you are not consuming more than 2500 calories.\n\nTrack your progress daily in a journal and tweak either your diet or activity level according to your progress until you get it right.\n\nIt's doubtful you are burning 700-800 calories by walking 50 minutes unless you are over 250 pounds and your rate is very brisk.  Use this calculator to help you figure it out.\n\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/while_walking200.html

Diet and excercise go together.  If you're 5' 7" at 150 you are of average weight, you shouldn't try and lose 20 lbs.  If you feel like you're fat, I suggest you excercise.  Do cardio and situps.  \n\nAlso, it's good to watch what you eat.  Eliminate junk food and fattening, oily food.  Also, it's best to eat about 5 - 7 small meals a day instead of 2 - 3 large ones.  The idea behind this is that everytime you eat, your body starts to break down the food.  The more frequently you eat, you'll trick your body to increase metabolism, which burns fat.

according to my doctor, the correct amount is 2,000 calories per day.

Normal tryglyceride levels are less than 150 mg/dL.  Stick with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats such as those found in canola oil and olive oil and stay away from any saturated fats.  Assuming you consume about 2000 calories per day, you should have no more than 65g/fat a day.  \n\nHere's a chart to follow to keep your saturated fats and triglycerides to a minimum:\n\nCalories:::::Satured Fat:::::Total Fat in Grams\n1,600::::::::18 or less:::::::::53 \n2,000::::::::20 or less:::::::::65 \n2,200::::::::24 or less:::::::::73 \n2,500::::::::25 or less:::::::::80 \n2,800::::::::31 or less:::::::::93

It is recommended that about 60% of your daily calorie intake be from carbs. The typical woman needs about 1700 calories/day and the typical man needs about 2000. That means a woman should have about 1020 carb calories and a man should have about 1200 calories from carbs. \n\nRemember, 40% of a food product's cals come from carbs.
