Calorie requirements
Recomended calorie intake varies from person to person,but there are guidelines for calorie requirements that you can use as a starting point.
The number of calories needed each day is around 2000.However the number of calories needed each day vary greatly depending on lifestyle and other factors.These factors include your age,height and weight,your level of daily activity and your body composition. Mostly,your calorie intake is calculated by Body mass index(BMI).BMI is the measurement choice of many physicians and researchers studying obesity.BMI uses a mathematical formula that takes into account both a person's height and weight.BMI equals a person's weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. For weight loss experiment with decreasing your daily calorie intake by about 500 calories per day.This should correspond to about 0.5 - 1.0 kg weight loss a week, never more. One kilogram of fat has 7000 calories so the 500 calorie deficit recommendation should see you lose about 0.5 kilograms per week. If the target is not met after the trial 1-2 week period, you can further reduce your daily calorie intake by another 500 calories. Again experiment with this for a few weeks. You should never reduce you daily calorie intake by more than 1000 calories without medical or dietitian supervision. This means that women should aim for at least a 1,200 -1,500 calorie diet. Men being more muscular need a minimum of about 1,500-2,000 calories per day in caloric intake.
