^ That's the site I use. Plug in your height/weight/age and it'll give you a number at the top. I don't know why, but it tends to suggest the South Beach Diet. Ignore that. South Beach is BAAAAAAD. Once you have that number (the number of calories you burn laying in bed, pull out a calculator. Click on where it says daily calorie needs and it'll give you a couple of options.
For example, I'm 5'4" and I weigh about 125. I'm 20. My Basal Metabolic Rate is about 1383. (That's without taking my active lifestyle into account). I do really hard workouts, so I multiply my BMR by 1.725 and it comes out to about 2400. Take 500 away from that for weight loss and it's about 1900. That's the number of calories I should get per day to lose weight.
It's kinda fun to play around with it, give it a shot. If you really want, leave your height in comments and I'll do it for you, but you should see this stuff yourself, too.
