Question: how many calories should you eat to get shredded?
Answer: Counting Calories: How To Do It And Where To Set The Limits For someone who wants to lose ten pounds or more, this adds up to (at least) 35,000 calories that have to be burned and not replaced. So, if you drop your caloric intake down to 1,500 calories per day, you are losing about 500-1,000 calories per day.
