Recommended daily calorie intakes in the US are 2,700 for men and 2,200 for women. Eating a big breakfast could help with weight reduction and maintenance. When food is eaten may matter as much as what and how many calories are eaten.
Calories and Weight. Rather than relying on the clock to slim down, monitor how much you eat. Sedentary women use roughly 1,800 to 2,000 calories per day, while moderately active women use 2,000 to 2,200 calories and highly active women use 2,200 to 2,400 calories. By eating 500 fewer calories per day than you use, you will lose around 1 pound each week. Just don't eat fewer than 1,200 calories in a day or else you're likely to become undernourished. Fewer calories translates to fewer nutrients if you're not careful, so fill up on healthy fare.
