Recommended Daily Calorie Intake
The recommended daily calorie intake depends on your body and health status, and is thoroughly individual. There are, however, guidelines for calorie requirements which you can use as a starting point. For example the UK Department of Healthy Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) suggests 1,940 calories a day for women and 2,550 for men. These activities apply to adults with low activity levels, as much of the worldwide population now leads a sedentary lifestyle. Bear in mind, however, that the number of daily calories required in a day can vary greatly, and is very much dependent on your lifestyle and other factors, including age, your body composition, weight and height, as well as your average level of daily activity. It is important to have two or three PLANNED meals a day, and to remember the golden rule: Eat less, but regularly.
