Daily Calorie Intake

Recommended calorie intake varies from person to person but there are guidelines for calorie requirements.

U.K department of health estimated average requirements (EAR) are a daily calorie intake of 1940 for women and 2550 for men. Since most of the adults in the U.K now lead quite a sedentary lifestyle, these figures apply to adults with low activity levels.

Factors that affect your personal daily calorie requirements include your age, height and weight, your basic level of daily activity and body composition.

In order to lose weight you need to eat less calories per day than your body needs, to lose say 1lb a week you would need approx a negative balance of 500 per day. To lose 2lb a week this would be 1000 calories per day. However it is always best to start slow and realistic and say try for a negative balance of 200-250 calories per day.
