Your bodys calorie requirement depends on your:
  • Age
  • Height
  • Weight
  • Gender
  • Body Size
  • Level of Physical Activity
  • Certain Conditions such as Pregnancy
Its but common knowledge that people who are physically more active burn more calories than those who maintain a sedentary lifestyle.

Remember one simple thing :

When calories consumed = calories burnt, your weight stays constant
When calories consumed > calories burnt, you gain weight
When calories consumed < calories burnt, you lose weight

A balanced calorie intake over time helps you maintain healthy weight.
