Calorie consumption in a female


How many calories should a 140 pound female aged 28 ingest daily?

There are many formulas to calculate calorie intake. In general, females need anywhere from 1,200-1,600  calories/day and males need 1,800-2,200 calories/day. To maintain good nutrition, you should consume about 60% carbohydrate, 20% protein and 20% fat. These numbers can vary by 5% either way. Try and eat fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy products and whole grains. The diet should be flexible so that you enjoy what you eat. Do not make silly rules on what you should eat and when- the most important thing to know is that you need to incorporate exercise as part of your routine-otherwise you will become fat.
