What should my daily intake of calories be? Within a healthy, balanced diet, a man needs around 10,500kJ (2,500Kcal) a day to maintain his weight. For a woman, that figure is around 8,400kJ (2,000Kcal) a day. These values can vary depending on age, metabolism and levels of physical activity, among other things.
Women need fewer daily calories per day as they age. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey found that the average American woman over age 20 takes in over 1,700 calories per day. moderately active woman needs about 2,200 calories a day up to age 25. Then, until she reaches age 50, she should get 2,000 calories a day and taper down to 1,800 calories a day from age 51 on.
