Answer Question

Answer 1

upto 2100 kcal by a women b/w the age of 30-50 and 2700 kcal by a man of the same age group are required according to the U.S recommendation . While the WHO recommends that an average minimum quantity of food energy that is 1800 kcal ( 7500kj ) is required by a person normally

Answer 2

In order to find out how many calories a man (or woman) needs, all you do is take your weight in pounds and multiply that by 15.

So if you weigh 150 pounds, that would be 150x15 = 2,250 calories/day.

This is a good rough estimate.

If you're looking to lose weight and not just maintain, you would eat at least 500 calories below this number each day. That would create a weekly 'deficit' of 3,500 calories which is the exact amount of calories you need to burn to lose 1 pound of fat!
