Extended data

Daily calories required by adults:

Daily calorie requirement of adults = basic calorie required for basic metabolism of human body+calorie required for physical activity+calorie required for digestion of food.

Heat required for digesting food = 10% x (minimum heat required for basic metabolism of human body+heat required for physical activity).

Daily caloric requirement of adults = 1. 1 x (minimum basal caloric requirement for basic metabolism of human body+caloric requirement for physical activity).

Male: 9250- 10090KJ

Female: 7980-8820 kJ

Note: The daily calories provided by food should not be less than 5,000-7,500 kilojoules, which is the least energy to maintain normal life activities.
