We have been familiar with the average number of calories that women and men are allowed to consume per day:2000 and 2500 respectively. But that number now appears to be too few.
British research has shown that people (men and women) can take 400 extra calories per day without gaining weight † This is almost sixteen percent of the recommended daily intake of calories and is equivalent to a cheeseburger.
Don't cheer too soon , because the committee warns that the new calorie guideline only applies to people who sufficiently exercise † If you eat 400 calories more every day than you use in energy for a long time, this will of course have a negative influence on your weight. To gain weight, you need to eat 7,000 calories more than you burn.
The new calorie limit has not yet been made official. Further investigations into this new border will be conducted over the next fourteen days. Health experts believe it will be more than 14 days before official new calorie guidelines are in place, as the message could cause quite a stir, especially among people who are overweight .
