How many calories should a 170lb woman intake per day?

Answer 1

The amount of calorie intake should be based on: health conditions, maintaining weight or losing weight. Also the type of calories should also be considered. If you are to maintain weight, you need to burn 3500 calories when 35oo calories are taken in. Normal daily activity can burn over 1000 calories per day. To lose weight, you must take in 3500 less for each pound lost combined with 3500 burned to show any weight loss. Normally the first 10-15 pounds lost on most people is water retention. However,
restricting calories too quickly can cause a significant decrease in metabolism, so be safe.
1500 to 2000 per day is a good measure. But keep sugars, carbs and fats to a minimum.
A nice balanced breakdown of calories should be: 60,30,10 approach- which simply put is 60 percent protein, 30 percent carbs, 10 percent fat.
