All of us, be it a woman or a man, need to have a certain amount of calories to get the energy for supporting our daily activities. If you do not get the required amount of energy through calories, the body ends up using the fat stored inside the body, ultimately leading to weight loss. The basic amount of calories need by an individual, to maintain his existing body weight, depend upon his gender, age, height and weight. Apart from that, the calorie needs will depend upon the purpose behind knowing the calorie requirements.
In other words, those who want to lose weight will require less than basic calories and those who want to gain weight will need more than the basic calories. Even the amount of physical activity undertaken by person determines his calorie requirements. The more active a person, the more calories he will require, over the basic amount. In this article, we have provided information on the basic calorie requirement for normal adult women, mature women as well as older women.
