how many calories.....?

[digitalangel3]

I have been looking around but can't find....How many calories should a female take in a day?

hubby said i should then cut 500 calories off that to lose fat.

I am currently eating about 1300 cal a day and I am full. I am eating healthy,eating full meals,watching my portions, is this enough?

thank you

There is a "sticky" (permanent post w/info) in the nutrion sectioin about calculating caloric needs and macronutrients. You need to start there.
