How many calories does an adult need a day?
The minimum energy consumption to maintain the physical function of adults in one day is about 1500 calories. The daily calorie intake of adults is related to age, sex, body shape, lifestyle, labor situation and physical health. Generally speaking, an adult's daily intake of 60g-80g of protein can basically meet the needs.

Adults only need to eat starch food equivalent to the size of a fist a day to meet the demand for carbohydrates in a day, no more, no less! The fruit you eat every day is equivalent to the size of a fist. It is suggested that the variety of fruit should not be limited to one kind, but can be mixed in many ways, so that the nutrition is more comprehensive.

Heat calculation method

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).
