I have a few questions about my diet. I am currently 5'10" and weigh 135-140 lbs. My question is how many calories do I need to eat, by your estimate, to maintain my weight? I don't want to bulk until I get money for a gym membership. I currently eat 1500 calories a day spread over about 4 meals, but I don't think this is enough to sustain me. (I haven't weighed myself for a couple days, I have to go to the gym and do it). As far as exercise goes, all I'm doing are some freehand exercises a couple times a week and a daily walk of 15-20 minutes. What do you fellas think?

you will be losing A LOT of weight on only 1500 calories. you need I'd say between 2200 and 2400 to maintain. From your stats, that should be about right. Check any online calculator, It will give a similar estimate.
Hehehehe Hahahaha Whohohohoh
Just throwin some logic in there.

if you eat 1500 calories a day, and moderate excercise, you will more than likely lose weight. average people need roughly 2500 to maintain.
GOAL: BUILD LEAN MASS

it depends on ur body type... if 1500cals can maintain ur weight, and thats all u wanna do, then stay their. If u start loosing or gaining then tweak it a little bit. Its hard to say how many cals/ day u should be getting because they're r a lot of unknown factors such as BMR, activity level, ect. The best advice i can give u is just experiment w/ it.
