Suze Report post Posted September 18, 2005 A rough guess? about 1200 cals per day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hev Report post Posted September 18, 2005 im still looking,i look under calories on google and it says to calculate for each year of their life,plus a thousand,then 200 a year but i make that 3200,that sounds a lot to me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raelien Report post Posted September 18, 2005 I found this.... Health Canada's Nutrition Recommendations 1990, recommend that 10-12 year old girls need 2200 kcal per day and 7-9 yr olds need 1900 kcal/day. However these are guidelines couldnt find much else without signing up for free trials to stuff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phasmid Report post Posted September 18, 2005 Found this NHS direct link where they say 2000 a day for adults. I'd say the 1200 already mentioned is about right based on that. Hope that helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
