I forgot, is it 1,500 or 2,000 a day?

Hmm.

    it depends on height, weight and activity level. I start at 1490 as a sedentary woman, but usually end up eating almost 2,000 after exercise calories.

    No, like what does the government recommend.

    It's something like 1,500 0r 2,000, and 2,500 for men or something.

    nutrition labels are based on a 2,000 calories a day diet

    Ohhhh okay I see what you mean now. The only thing I've heard is that an "average" is 2000 per day.
