How many calories should a high school basketball player consume per day?

Hello, I play basketball for my high school. How many calories should I take in per day. ( In-Season and Off-Season ). Because I have Basketball during the in-season and I’m working out in the off-season by running, weightlifting, speed, agility, and basketball. Thanks.
This also pertains to, consuming calories but still staying lean with low body fat count.

3-5k make sure you eat a lot of protein as well. your weight * .5 = how much grams of protein you should eat a day. Caloric intake depends on how much work you do that day. On a high stress day take in about 5k

Amanda, you make no sense what so ever. You need to consume more calories when active and less when not, not the opposite, and 2500 is the amount for an average person not an athlete stop speaking out of your ass.
