[Rosie]

I am asking this question because i am slim and would like to gain weight. i think i eat maximum 2000 calories.

[Rachel]

i believe the minimum is 1500 calories

i dont think anything lower than that is healthy

Men 3000-3500

Women 2500-3000 a day

Minimum of 1200 per day, to keep your body from going into "starvation mode" in which it does everything it can to conserve calories, including leaving you with no energy.

it depends on your weight and height.

A very lazy or inactive person needs at least 1200/day to survive. If you are active and want to gain weight, I would up it to at least 2500/day.

Well i'm not sure about the total amount in a day, but you can do the math. I do know that you are supposed to eat a small meal every 3-4 hours, that consists of 250-300 calories. And your supposed to have 5 small meals so take 300 x 5 and that's about the amount of calories you should have in a day.

Don't try to gain weight! When I was a teen, I would try to gain weight! I couldn't. Then when I hit 20, I gained 10 lbs and I had hard time losing it. Your metabolism will slow over the years and you will gain weight. Look at your friends parents to realize that what I'm telling you is true. Just enjoy your thinness. I'm 5'5, I exercise 6 days a week, for 1 hr. I alternate cardio with weights. I had a fitness evaluation and my body requires 1843 calories a day to maintain my weight at my current level of activity. This should give you an example. Good luck!
