Daily Caloric Requirements for Women and Men

The daily calorie requirements for adult men and women

AGE	DAILY CALORIES ​(MEN)	DAILY CALORIES (WOMEN)
19-59	2600	1950
60-74	2400	1900
75 +	2100	1800

​
​These numbers reflect the usual day-to-day activities of a person that does not have a very physically active daily routine, such as a banker or physician,

More physically active individuals need more calories. This is one of the reasons the we recommend a structured exercise program for our weight loss patients.

Happy New Year!
