The daily amount of calories needed depends on many factors including a person's age, height, physical activity, body mass, and many other variables. The average calorie intake for a man is considered 2000-2100 for women and 2700-2900 for men. However an avid athlete may require 6000 or more calories. In order to figure out the specific amount of calories a person needs there are various formulas one can use. To lose 1lb a week you need a negative calorie balance of 500 calories per day. To lose weight at 2lb a week you need to reduce your calorie intake by 1000 calories a day.
