How many calories should I be eating?
I weigh 126 and I'm 5'4. Not very active although I've been trying to do 30-40 min on the elliptical + a small amount of free weights 5x a week. Doesn't always happen but I'm trying. 
I'd like to tone up (I'm pretty flabby) and maybe lose 5 lbs.
I started paying more attention to nutrition labels but I have no idea how many calories I should be eating.
Anyone?

It depends how old you are but I don't think it would vary all that much anyway. Probably about 1600-1800 calories. The lower side to lose a little weight.

Yup. 1800 to maintain your weight....1500/1600 to drop a few pounds.

Watch your fat gram and carbohydrate intake as well.
