Recommended Calorie Intake, Free Calorie Counter and Information
Here you can find all the calorie information you need: calculators, charts, tables, and free calorie counters.
How many calories are there in certain foods? Where can I find a free calorie counter?
Fit and Trim have pulled together a handy free food calorie counter with nutritional information about common foods like how many calories or how much fat for you.
What makes a low calorie diet? What is my recommended calorie intake per day?
The answer depends on how active a lifestyle you are living. Most guidelines recommend an intake of around 2000 calories a day for women and 2500 calories a day for men.
Another way to think about it is to think about your balance of calories. If you're gaining weight, you're probably consuming more calories than you burn through exercise. If you want to lose weight, you need to reverse that balance. In general, someone eating 500 calories a day less than they are burning through exercise will lose weight at about one pound or half a kilogram a week.
