In the UK, a daily allowance is of 2,000 calories for an average adult female and 2,500 calories for an average adult male is recommended (as a base line).

If a person is more or less active than an average person, then they will need more or less calories; a person should consume enough calories so that they maintain their weight (ie it stays within ±2 lbs or ±1 kg).

Food nutritional labelling in the UK uses the average adult female when providing a percentage of the daily allowance (for energy, fat, sugar, etc), which is extremely funny when applied to a chocolate confection which is advertised as "not for girls" (ie it is meant for "men").

How many calories do you have to eat less a day to loose 15 pounds?

It depends on how fast you want to lose those 15 pounds by. To lose one solid pound of body weight, you need to burn 3,500 more calories than you consume. For 15 pounds, that means you need to burn 52,500 more calories than you consume. Here is the breakdown of the time it would take and the calories that would need to be cut out.... (this is also assuming that you are exercising and burning a considerable number of calories, daily, too.) * 1 month = 1750 calories less daily. * 2 months = 875 calories less daily. * 3 months = 580 calories less daily. * 6 months = 290 calories less daily. * 1 year = 145 calories less daily.
