How do I know my energy needs and nutritional requirements?

There are many guidelines on how many calories you should consume to maintain or lose weight. The generic guidelines are as follows:

For Men 2500 Calories a day to maintain a current weight

For Women 2000 Calories a day to maintain a current weight

However, there are more accurate ways to investigate roughly how many calories you should consume in a day.

The Australian Government has an excellent set of nutrition calculators that take into account your gender, age, weight and activity level.
