Caloric needs vary from person to
person based on factors such as age, size, height, sex and lifestyle. One lifestyle
factor that affects caloric needs is exercise. Approximate needs for males are 2700
Calories, while approximate values for females are 2200 Calories. To calculate individual
energy needs you should first find your basal metabolic rate (BRM). BMR
reflects daily caloric requirements without exercise, so, in other words, it
reflects your caloric needs just for existing. BMR is based on body weight,
height, and age. You can then multiply your BMR by values that represent your
activity level to get a value that represents your total daily caloric needs
with exercise factored in. For more information regarding this topic and for a
