How much calories are taken in a day...

[micalhassi]

Calories are the main base for body healthy. It depend upon daily eating habits and foods taken. But i think every one need to eat in a balance sequence. like use fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, chicken in a proper manner. A normal person use daily 2200 to 2400 calories per day. But if he did not burn calories more then that then the result in over weight. So calories have important impact on body weight.

actually there are several nutritional needs other than calories, and each person is different.
and weight is not a clear sign of poor health, muscle weighs more than fat, height and build can change the ideal weight, amount of physical exertion, climate and many other things can alter the amount of calorie intake needed per day.
there is also the individual persons ability to absorb nutrients, and store them, which can alter the amount of nutrients needed.

From Mind what you eat (Ajahn Fuang)

After his trip to America, one of his students asked him if he had had a chance to eat pizza while he was there. He mentioned that he had, and that it was very good. This surprised one of his students who had gone along on the trip. "You ate only two bites," he said. "We thought you didn't like it."

"Two bites were enough to fill me up," he answered. "Why would you want me to eat more?"
