Short answer? Enough for you. Not gonna matter what anyone else says. You'll get plenty of "I eat 3500 and lose!" and "I swear by 1200!" answers.

Just check the link and go from there, it worked for me.

Like the previous poster mentioned, you'll get a lot of people that swear by high calorie or low calorie diets. I say do what works for you, play around with it until you find something that works but make sure you give it at least 1-2 months before you "give up" and don't focus only on what the scale says. Take before and after pictures, measurements, and have your bodyfat % tested.
