Glad to see people starting to come around about calories

and the importance of getting enough.


Gender: Age = Active/Calories per day

Female: 14-18 = 2,400
Female: 19-30 = 2,400
Female: 31-50 = 2,200
Female: 51+ = 2,000 - 2,200

Male: 14-18 = 2,800 - 3,200
Male: 19-30 = 3,000
Male: 31-50 = 2,800 - 3,000
Male: 51+ = 2,400 - 2,800
