How Many Calories Do I Need in a Day?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The simple answer is most adults need between 1,600 and 3,000 calories per day. However, this number is not the same for everyone. Your calorie needs depend on your age, gender, weight, height, and how active you are.<\/span><\/p>\n

The common “2,000 calories a day” number you see on food labels is just a rough average. According to the Cleveland Clinic, some people need 600 calories more or less than that number. Eating too much leads to weight gain. Eating too little slows your metabolism and leaves your body short on energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

This guide breaks it down so you can find a number that fits your body.<\/span><\/p>\n
