The amount of colories needed is dependent on various factors such as Age, Weight, Avtivity Level etc. There is a formula to calculate the calorie intake needed.

Go to exrx.net

The site also has a lot of other useful information.

I never check the calorie count I just check the protein, carbohydrates, sodium and sugar.

It depends on your height and body weight. Your BF% is also useful in determining this as well as what goals you are trying to achieve. There are a LOT of variables any trainer will need to know before putting you on any particular calorie count. There's no standard formula for calories that works the same for everyone. This is another retarded myth posted on the back of every cereal box.
