Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Generally, the recommended daily calorie intake is 2, 000 calories a day for women and 2, 500 for men. This is a commonly established calorie intake, making the 2000 calorie diet a standard as it hits the average intake for most adults.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example, according to United States Dietary Guidelines, adult females aged 19–50 years who are moderately active need around 2, 000–2, 200 calories per day. Meanwhile, moderately active adult males aged 19–50 years require around 2, 400–2, 800 calories per day.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kids come in all sizes and each person’s body burns energy (calories) at different rates, so there isn’t one perfect number of calories that every kid should eat. But there is a recommended range for most kids between 6 and 12 years old: 1, 600 to 2, 200 per day, depending on how active they are.

Detailed explanation-4: -Daily calorie needs for kids under 2 years old are between 700 and 1, 000 calories. Children 2 to 8 need between 1, 000 and 2, 000 calories, the report says. Daily calorie intake estimates vary widely for older children and teenagers, with a range of 1, 400 to 3, 200.
