If you are strength training you need to be eating more than what you are saying. I'm know expert but I would guess 3000-3500 calories based on my experiences and what I've read. Always remember that diet and rest are just as important as your training, there's no shortcuts.
i see or here this all the time there is no such thing as losing fat and building muscle you must isolate lose fat or build muscle period id say one week heavy cardio and next week intense lifting etc all the while jus keeping a basic diet no sodas candy fried processed foods just healthy complete meals with all food groups is essential
Actually, I see or hear that all of the time. Whenever some one mentions burning fat and building muscle at the same time, another person always responds "there is no such thing as burning fat and building muscle at the same time, and I always see or hear people saying that!"
I've been lifting weights and running almost everyday for two weeks. I've decreased my body fat percentage by 4% and increased my bench press by 10lbs. What would you call that? It's certainly not not burning fat and building muscle.
So while there maybe no such thing as burning fat and building muscle at the same time in a single exersize, and even this I am not so sure of, you can most certainly lose fat and build muscle in the same week.
Regardless, I didn't come here to talk about that. I just wanted to know if there is a minimum number of calories your body requires everyday to stay healthy. It seems like no one knows so I'll venture elsewhere. But either way, thanks for the response.

Don't want to sounds like a jack@SS here but there are thousands of websites that can help you. Some of them are very well made and will actually tell you the amount of proteins/fat/carbs and calories you should eat depending on your weight.
I work at a gym and don't have much knowledge about MMA, but a bunch of my members have been telling me I should learn more about it. The best thing I've seen in trying to learn about a good MMA diet is www.thedolcediet.com.
