Calorie requirements for men and women vary depending on a number of factors including age,
height, weight, body composition, and activity level. In general,
men require more calories than women due to their higher muscle mass and metabolism.
The average daily calorie requirement for sedentary men and women is as follows:
Sedentary women aged 19 to 30 years require about 1,800 to 2,000 calories per day.
Sedentary women aged 31 to 50 years require about 1,800 calories per day.
Sedentary women aged 51 years and over require about 1,600 calories per day.
Sedentary men aged 19 to 30 years require about 2,400 to 2,600 calories per day.
Sedentary men aged 31 to 50 years require about 2,200 to 2,400 calories per day.
Sedentary men aged 51 years and over require about 2,000 to 2,200 calories per day.
However, these are just rough estimates and individual calorie requirements
can vary widely depending on a person's lifestyle and activity level.
It's always best to consult with a registered dietitian or healthcare professional to
determine the appropriate calorie intake for your specific needs.
