How Many Calories Do You Really Need Each Day?
Submitted by escada on Mon, 02/25/2008 - 09:18.Your body needs a certain number of calories each day just to maintain essential body functions. So how many calories should you ingest each day? That depends on your daily level of activity, gender, weight, height, and age. Other issues like genetics and the amount of body fat/muscle you have can also affect your caloric needs.
