How Many Calories Are Right for You?

How do you find the perfect balance between calories in and calories out? Not by nitpicking over calorie counting, that’s for sure! You should pay attention to what and how much you eat, but not to the point that you carry a calculator and whip it out after each bite of food. To get a rough idea of how many calories you should be taking in, look at the following chart. This chart only offers three general caloric ranges, so keep in mind that your personal daily requirements might fall somewhere between two that are listed. Remember, everyone is different. Caloric intake will vary depending upon your age, sex, size, genetics, and level of activity.
