Common conclusions

The optimal daily calorie intake varies by age, metabolism and level of physical activity, among other factors. In general, women should consume 2,000 calories per day and men should consume 2,500 calories per day.

To keep a healthy weight, a moderately active woman between the ages of 26 and 50 should consume around 2,000 calories per day. Women in their early twenties have higher calorie requirements. To stay in shape, they need about 2,200 calories a day.

Women over the age of 50 have a lower caloric requirement. To maintain her weight, the average moderately active woman over 50 needs 1,800 calories per day and 1,300 calories per day to lose 1 pound (0.45 kg) per week.

To maintain her weight, the average woman requires around 2000 calories per day, and to lose weight, she requires around 1500 calories per day. To lose weight in a healthier way, you must expend more energy than you consume by consuming a well-balanced, low-calorie diet and increasing your physical activity. You should download the NHS weight loss plan, as well as free 12-week diet and exercise plan, for more guidance on losing weight.

You should consume 2,000 calories per day. A 2,000-calorie diet should be high in fruits, vegetables, protein, whole grains, and healthy fats, and should be made up of whole, unprocessed foods.
