Hi Kiersenn, and welcome  .
Your caloric intake goal depends upon a couple of different factors, such as gender, current weight, goals. I think this link offers some good calculation tools: Calculate the Calories I Need Per Day __________________ I had Gastric bypass Roux-en-Y 09/24/2007

~kiersen | We can tell you exactly the amount you should eat in a day.
All we need to know is your age, sex, height, weight, and how often a week you exercise and what type of exercise it is.

~kiersen | The magic number is 3500. That is the number of calories that equal a pound. As for the number of calories you should eat, we will need, as already mentioned, some additional info, but to quote my doctor, it should be around 2000. Hope this helps
