I think you are a girl? Then if you are not physically active then around 1800 calories a day, if you are physically active then you need about 2000-2400 calories a day. Here is a chart from www.mypyramid.gov that shows the calorie requirements for different ages and sexes.

it really depends on your your sex, height/weight and activity level. I like the site, caloriecounter.com. It helps you determine the amount of calories required to maintain, gain or lose weight.
