How many calories do women consume in a day?

Everyone needs to consume calories every day, especially those who exercise regularly, who consume more calories during exercise. Even those who don't like exercise usually need to walk, do housework, etc., and they are constantly consuming calories in this process. Those who want to lose weight hope to supplement less calories and consume more calories at the same time. So how many calories can a woman consume in a day?

The average female consumes calorie per day:

The human body needs to consume at least 1500 calories per day.

The amount of calories the human body needs every day is related to body weight and physical activity level. Generally speaking, a person with a standard weight of 60 kg needs 1500-1600 calories a day when resting; if he is moderately active, he needs 1800-2000 calories a day.

However, the human body has a very strange phenomenon. When the calorie intake from food is insufficient, the human body will produce heat itself. This endogenous heat mainly comes from the decomposition of glycogen and fat. The decomposition of glycogen produces glucose, up to 180 grams a day (equivalent to 720 calories), while the decomposition of fat produces fatty acids and glycerol. Glycerol can be converted into glucose for cell use, and fatty acids can be converted into ketone bodies (Ketone) for cell use (including nerve tissue).

Therefore, if a person has a lot of subcutaneous fat (obese), the adipose tissue is an internal source of energy that can be broken down to supply the calories needed for the body's metabolism. However, generally speaking, at least 800 kcal (thousands of calories) must be consumed a day to avoid harming health.

Calories, also written as capital C, are most commonly found in food labels. They are equivalent to the energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water at 15 degrees Celsius by one degree under standard atmospheric pressure. 1 calorie = 4.185 joules. Calories, also written as cal, are more common in scientific research documents. 1000 calories = 1 calorie

We often talk about how many calories we should eat at each meal, but how many calories do we actually need every day?

You can calculate the calories you need for a day based on your gender, age, height, and weight. Here is how to calculate:

Male: [66 + 1.38 x weight (kg) + 5 x height (cm) - 6.8 x age] x activity level

Female: [65.5 + 9.6 x weight (kg) + 1.9 x height (cm) - 4.7 x age] x activity level

The average person's activity level ranges from 1.1 to 1.3. The more active a person is, the higher the value will be, and it may even be higher than 1.3. For example, if a woman only works in an office, her activity level is about 1.1, and people with a high level of exercise have an activity level of about 1.3.
