I found this great resource for figuring out your daily caloric needs each day (for maintenance, weight loss, and weight gain). It is all based on weight, height, age, and % body fat. There is a link into an excel document at the bottom of this web page. Open it up for a spreadsheet that will calculate the "Katch-McArdle" and the "Harris-Benedict" method for you. (at the top of the spreadsheet, just delete the current weight, height, age, body fat info and type in your own... the rest is automatically calculated).
I hope this is helpful!
