   How many calories do you need to maintain a healthy weight?

   To maintain weight, see the calorie chart below. This chart represents calorie guidelines to maintain weight based on median height and weight -- a BMI (body-mass index) of 21.5 for females and 22.5 for males – as well as activity level. 

   To lose weight -- about 1 pound a week -- reduce total calories in the chart by 500 a day by eating less and become more physically active.

   To gain weight, add 500 calories per day for each pound you want to gain per week. 

   For successful weight loss that you can maintain over time, experts recommend choosing foods that are lower in calories but rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other nutrients.
