How many calories should I eat in a day? It's a question often asked by those looking to lose weight sustainably, given the ever-present number of diets that promote cutting calories to very low levels.
Despite what many of these diets suggest, calories are not actually a negative thing - they're simply a unit of measurement for energy in food and drink - and everyone needs a good amount of this energy to keep moving through the day. No one should be pressured into changing their weight in any way and for those who aren't interested, calories may not be so important.
