    The rules I follow are:

    Take your goal weight and mulitply it by 10 if you are seditary, 11 if you are moderately active, or 12 if you are very active. This is the base calorie amount to get to that goal weight.

    I use this: http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/

    Edit: It calculates your BMR using the two most commonly used formulas but then tells you how much you should eat based on your activity level to reach your goal weight.

    They say an average man needs about 2500 calories per day. More importantly ,to lose a pound of weight , you have to remove 3500 from your diet. If you do this over a week, it's only subtracting 500 calories a day.
