Basically an individual needs a standard required amount of calories for the body to function at the normal rate. However, this amount of calories varies from individuals to individuals. The energy demand depends on a few factors such as;
Your occupation;
- Work that involves a lot of physical activity would have a higher energy demand where as work that involves less physical activity would have a lower energy demand.
Your lifestyle;
- If you fall in the category where you are always on the move and the word active lifestyle defines you, then you may need more energy to actually fuel you for the day. However, if you falls in the category of living a sedentary life (*ahem potato couches) then your energy requirement for the day is actually lower.
It’s just a logical equation that can be deduced here;
Energy requirement increases along with physical activity.

Do you know that...
Most of our favourite foods are made of rice, noodles, or bread. However, they also happen to be rich in starch carbohydrates (high in calorie).
Too much starch carbohydrate loads on calories which can ultimately lead to weight gain.

Does that means that you have to give up on the foods you love?
So are you over-supplied with FUEL?
