There is no really accurate way... Formula that take into account your lean mass (eg: do not just base it on your total weight) are sometimes mroe accurate - as are those that take into account your activity...

But the easiest thing to do is to simply start at a non-stupid amount (say, for someone your weight, something around 2600 cals) and monitor yourself in the mirror... If you start to lose weight, increase calories if you start to gain weight, decrease calories.~
