How many calories a day does a 5'3 woman need?

Answer 1

This is based on RDA for a 5-3 130 lbs person. I got this info here. http://www.caloriecontrol.org/calcalcs.html You can calculate other wights and heights age etc. _________________________________________________________________________________ 1721 for a sedentary (couch potato) person 25 years old ; 1545 for a 55 years old. For a person who exercises lightly (desk job) 1790 for a 25 year old; 1608 age 55 For moderate activity (blue color worker) 2065.5 age 25; 1854 for a 55 year old. Heavy activity (athletic person) 2340.9 for a 25 year old; 2101.2 for a 55 year old You also need to understand that not everyone is the same and that some people will gain, lose or stay the same on these numbers depending on your metabolism and other factors so you may need to eat more or less then what these numbers say but these numbers are prety close for most people.

Answer 2

It varies based on gender, height, and activity, but the average person of those measurements should consume between 1,400 and 1,600 calories a day if they are younger (under 25), and between 1,500 and 2,000 caloires a day is they are older.

Answer 3

If you weigh 130 lbs (no matter how tall you are), the amount of calories you burn just by living is ((130x10)+130) = 1430. Therefore, depending on how active you are, a person weighing 130 lbs should eat between 1500 and 1700 calories to maintain their weight.

Answer 4

It really depends on activity level. Assuming you are very inactive approx. 1350 calories to maintain your weight. Age also makes a difference though. If you eat a very nutrient rich diet calories don't matter as much. Meaning if you eat a crap load of fresh veggies, who cares what the calorie count is. Ever seen someone get fat eating carrots, grean beans ect?

Answer 5

Calories needed depend also from the weight. So is not possible to answer this question correctly.

Answer 6

Not too many if you're 5'3 and 160 pounds. You're pretty overweight and should be in the 120 range. I suggest about 100.
