How many calories does an adult need per day?

Answer 1

On the contrary to what you may read or hear, there is no specific amount required for every person. We all differ in size, shape, metabolic genes, daily activities, etc. A person who runs daily will need more calories than one who watches TV all day. Pregnant women need more than non pregnant woman. Construction workers need more than office workers. Get the idea? Therefore, it is not possible to have the same daily caloric intake for everyone.
