The short answer
As a rough guide, the NHS puts an average woman at 2,000 kcal a day and an average man at 2,500 kcal. Your own number moves with age, weight, height and how much you move, so treat those as a reference point rather than a target. This counter gives you the calories and macros for each item you type, and a running total to hold against whichever number you are working to.
