H0W MANY CAL0RiES ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO iNTAKE DAiLY?

Answer 1

Average would be between 1800 and 2000 calories (not kilograms). If you are smaller than average, then fewer calories. If you are larger than average, more calories. If you want to gain weight, then you would take in more calories. If you want to lose weight, you would take in fewer. I would not recommend going below 1200. Exercise is the single BEST thing for anyone, including diabetics. A brisk walk of about 30 minutes per day can burn as much as 200 calories. More on calories here:

Answer 2

Normally 2000kg for women and 2500kg for men. As a diabetic it can be more complicated than "over worked" G.P.s are able to understand. Calories include carbohydrate and carbohydrate can be burnt thinking, let alone taking physical exercise. The medical profession are retarded when it comes to this fuller understanding of these fundamental problems caused by the condition. I have found that emotional upset (eg. fear) can also burn carbohydrate and the medical profession are right in one respect - everyone is different.
One thing is certain insulin causes diabetics to be heavy (more muscle than fat) and vast difficulties in reducing muscle as I find that if I put on weight it is extremely difficult to loose it and avoid running out of energy - carbohydrate. 2000kg is a good place to start, or 2500kg if you are male. If you are diabetic it is invaluable to find a good G.P. and not one whom is "over worked". Nurses are far more intelligent and less arogant than poorly trained G.P.s in this area.

Answer 3

Since you're asking here in diabetes, I assume you have it. So, the best answer I can give you is that the number of CALORIES needs to be balanced to your metabolism, so you maintain a healthy weight. Carbs have 4 calories per gram, as does protein, and fat has 9 calories per gram. Food labels that list carbs now are referring to grams of carbohydrate. You generally need about 1800-2400 calories per day for a maintenance weight.

To lose weight, you can safely cut 1000 calories per day from your maintenance amount, and you will lose 2 pounds per week by doing so.

Now, the tricky part--your diet should consist of no more that 20% fat, about 30% protein, and about 50% COMPLEX carbohydrates. You can run into as many problems by eating the wrong balance as by eating the wrong amount. So, for a guy who wants to lose weight, let's say your maintenance intake is 2000 calories per day but you've been eating 2800 calories per day to get where you are now--I'd suggest going down to 1600 calories per day for your diet. 60% of 1600 is 960 calories of complex carbs per day, or 240 grams = 240carbs.

A word of caution--while canned and processed food make it easy to figure your carbs, they contain preservatives and additives that are designed to make you hungry and crave certain foods, and this is very BAD. For your plan to work, you need to concentrate on fresh and frozen veggies, and move away from processed foods and trans fats.

One last piece of advice--microwaving veggies destroys the enzymes in them. An enzyme supplement is a good thing for you, as you start your effective weight loss program. Best of luck.
