Age, gender and activity levels affect how much calories the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services advises aging individuals to consume each day. According to DHHS guidelines, sedentary men ages 61 and older should consume roughly 2,000 calories per day. Moderately active men between the ages of 61 and 65 are advised to consume 2,400 calories per day, while men at that activity level age 66 and older are urged to consume roughly 2,200 calories per day. DHHS recommendations indicate active men between the ages of 61 and 75 should consume 2,600 calories per day, while those 76 and up should reduce that consumption to 2,400 calories per day. Women's recommended calorie intake is significantly lower, as DHHS guidelines advise sedentary women age 61 and older to consume 1,600 calories per day. Women 61 and older who engage in moderate physical activity each day are urged to consume 1,800 calories per day, a recommendation that increases to 2,000 calories per day for those in the same age group who live a physically active lifestyle. It's important to note that these recommendations are just guidelines, and seniors should consult a physician familiar with their medical history for more personal recommendations regarding calorie consumption.
