Depending on the particular context, the term is also used in reference to an estate in land or of a particular kind of property (such as real estate or personal estate).
Considerations. Self-reported average energy intake of 2,640 calories for men and 1,785 calories per day for women is within current USDA recommendations. However, since the majority of men and women in the U.S. are overweight or obese, many are eating more calories than they require.f you currently consume more calories than you should, youâre not alone. Daily calorie intake in the U.S. exceeds calorie needs. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reports that about 72 percent of men and 64 percent of women are classified as overweight or obese.
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.
