Need Calories?

I’ve decided to overhaul my eating habits for the New Year.

But have you ever wondered how many calories individuals over 50 should consume? The National Institute on aging suggests the following:

Women:

1,600 calories if physical activity is level is low
1,800 calories with moderate physical activity
2,000 – 2,200 for an active lifestyle

Men:

2,000 calories if physical activity is level is low
2,200-2,400 calories with moderate physical activity
2,400-2,800 calories for an active lifestyle
