Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Older adults generally have lower calorie needs, but similar or even increased nutrient needs compared to younger adults. This is often due to less physical activity, changes in metabolism, or age-related loss of bone and muscle mass.
Detailed explanation-2: -Age: Calorie needs peak around age 25, and then decline by about two percent every 10 years or so. An aging body replaces muscle with fat, which burns fewer calories than muscle.
