“How many calories do I need per day” sounds like a simple question, but there’s no single precise answer that applies to everyone. Daily energy needs depend on sex, age, height, weight, activity level, and even individual differences in metabolism. Still, there are reasonably reliable ballpark figures that help you understand roughly where your own number is likely to fall.

It’s worth treating any such figure as an estimate rather than an exact medical measurement. Even the most carefully designed formulas only approximate reality, and two people of the same sex, age, and weight can still have somewhat different actual calorie needs due to individual differences in body composition and metabolism.
