Common conclusions

If you’re a woman trying to lose weight, you should have 1,300 calories per day to lose a pound. As for men, 1,500-1,800 calories per day would be ideal.

Measuring your calorie intake is important to know what kind of food you should eat as part of your diet. YOu can also find out your healthy weight using a BMI calculator.

If you don’t exercise regularly, you might need to eat 1,200 calories per day to lose weight. If you can’t cut that food from your diet, then you really need to exercise as part of your weight goal.

Consider downloading a calorie count app so you can keep track of your records and progress.

If you have a slow metabolism, having a small meal or snack every 3-4 hours will help you burn more calories over the course of the day.

Eating a heavy breakfast helps in weight reduction and weight maintenance. This is helpful for those who want to gain or lose weight.

If you don’t have an active lifestyle, your daily calorie requirement would be your basal metabolic rate multiplied to 1.2.

If you have a fast metabolism, your daily calorie intake should not be lower than 500 as it may evoke the body's starvation response, and your muscle mass may be broken down for energy.

If you are 21-25 years old and have a sedentary lifestyle, your calorie intake should be 2000 per day.

If you are in your mid 30’s and have a less active lifestyle, your calorie intake should be 1,800 per day.
