Since each of us is different, our bodies all have their own nutrition needs. Do you know what your body needs for a healthy diet?
Most of us don’t know. The truth is, the amount of food our body physically needs is much less than what most Americans eat per day. After we know, and accept, the amount of food we actually need, it is much easier to accept that we overeat for other reasons.
I found a great calculator by the US government that gives you your daily calorie needs for your age, sex, height, and weight. After entering this data, it gives you a .pdf sheet with not only the calories for the day, but also the types of food for a day and minimum exercise.
For example, here is daily intake plan for a 60 year old female, 5 foot, and 220 pounds (which will produce a weight loss at an acceptable rate):
Daily Plan for 60 years, 5', 220 lbs Woman - 1600 cal/day
Then, to help you to use this plan, they give you a sheet to help plan and track your food intake during each day:
Very nice tool to help you choose what you plan for your daily nutrition needs. If you already know your daily calorie intake goal, you can go to this table of links to Calories Results and Food Tracking Worksheets for 1000-3200 calories per day (in increments of 200 calories).
