How many calories should you eat if you are 40 years old 5'2 and you weigh 150 pounds?

Answer 1

Amount of any food per day is always subjective to the following: a. Age b. Health conditions c. Physical activity(calorie expenditure per day) d. General food habits(based on locality of individual, he may be consuming more of one food and may be immune to bad effects of it) e. Others There are many other minor factors which may determine the amount of calories that a person needs. So based on the law of individualism, each individual is unique and their needs are different based on various factors.

Answer 2

I found a formula online that shows you how many calories you should eat for your weight to maintain it, and obviously it must be less if you want to lose weight. So say you are 150lbs, it would be 1500 + 150 = 1650 calories a day When they say on supermarket packaging a women should eat 2000 cals a day, this is a lie! They only put this so that ready meals etc. look like they are a smaller portion of your daily allowance. I'm afraid I don't know the carbs, but I suppose you would needmybe 40/50% of your intake to be healthy carbs like cereal, wholemeal bread, pasta and that which you find in fruit and veg - with the rest % smaller amounts of fibre, fat, protein etc.... But I am in no way a nutritionist, I am just guessing on the above.

Answer 3

Calories? It depends greatly on your body type and what you normally eat. Of course, Its not good to worry or go on diets when youre a teenager, only because a 150 pound 15 year old is already below average weight! 150 pounds is AWESOME for a 15 year old, and, Im sure this 15 year old is beautiful the way she is :) good luck!
