Answer 2

Well, as a general rule of thumb:

sedentary lifestyle-multiply your weight by 14

moderately active-multiply your weight by 17

very active--multiply your weight by 20

It doesn't take into account age, s*x, lean muscle mass, etc, but it's a good guideline.  Good luck!

Answer 3

That depends on how active you are.  If you are a very active person, over 2000 is healthy.  If you are not all that active, maybe 1400 is all you need.  It just depends on how active you are and what your energy needs are.
