Actually no, they need more. Kids should take in between 1,000-1,500 calories a day, depending on their age, weight and height. Adults, on the other hand, should consume about 2,000 a day, generally. It may, however, be more or less, again, depending on the person. Ask your doctor if you want a personal check about how many calories you need.
