Remember that the number of calories you need a day is dependent on several factors like your age, sex, height, body size, and daily activity levels (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/health.gov\/our-work\/nutrition-physical-activity\/dietary-guidelines\/previous-dietary-guidelines\/2015\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">US Department of Health &amp; Human Services Dietary Guidelines <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/health.gov\/our-work\/nutrition-physical-activity\/dietary-guidelines\/previous-dietary-guidelines\/2015\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), the average human requires anywhere between 1600 and 3000 calories every day to sustain their body weight.
