What is the daily calorie requirement for a woman? Here, every now and then it is good to answer the questions you ask me in private, even with a short article just to clear your mind.

Although our daily calorie needs are always subject to weight and height variables, a woman’s daily calorie needs are estimated by age group and activity level and can help us get a rough idea.

The American guidelines, compared to those promulgated by EFSA, are more complete for both physical activity and age groups.

Since they are standard lines, also valid in Italy, we will take them as an example.

WOMAN DAILY CALORIE NEEDS

• From 19 to 30 years
  Sedentary: the daily caloric requirement varies between 1800 and 2000 calories
  Moderately active: between 2000 and 2200 daily calories
  Active: about 2400 calories for an active woman (who stands a long time and / or train every day)
• From 31 to 50 years
  Sedentary: the daily caloric requirement does not exceed 1800 calories
  Moderately active: no more than 2000 daily calories
  Active: between 2000 and 2200 daily calories
  
  But what if we wanted to be more precise?
  If we wanted to be more precise in calculating our daily calorie needs, the smartest thing to do would be to take a pen and paper (and a calculator) and make an average between the results of the most popular formulas, which also take into consideration weight and height. . Go to Human Energy Needs for the most famous one from Harris-Benedict.
