¹ Sedentary is a lifestyle that’s limited to only the movement of regular everyday activity.
² Moderate is a lifestyle that involves the movement of regular everyday activity and walking 1.5 to 3 miles per day at 3 to 4 mph.¹That’s 2000-7000 steps depending on your height and stride length.
³ Active is a lifestyle that involves the movement of regular everyday activity and walking 3 miles per day at 3 to 4 mph.²That’s 6000-7000 steps depending on your height and stride length.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Refer to the chart with your age and activity level to find the amount of calories you should eat per day to maintain your current body weight. To lose weight, subtract 300-500 calories from the estimated number that you should eat according to your age and activity level. To gain weight, add the same number. Increase or decrease intake by no more than 10 percent if the scale doesn’t move in the appropriate direction after three weeks.

NOTE:
The suggested calorie intake on the chart is only an approximation and not a precise figure because the values are based on a 5’10” man weighing 154 lbs. If you fall outside the height and weight of the reference person, then your specific needs may vary. For a more accurate approximation of your individual calorie needs, the daily calorie needs calculator is available.
