So the NHS UK site tells us a man should have around 2500 cals per day to keep a healthy weight, a woman around 2000 cals. It's funny, when we shopping for tinned foods/powdered foods the first thing I look at is the 'USE BY' date. After that I find myself looking at the calorie content per 100 grammes. For each Tin I see it in various cooked meals then multiply what I can get out of a tin by the number I/we will be cooking ate each meal sitting. My ultimate goal is 2 months of food preps with a healthy calorie content spread out over breakfast, dinner and a light evening meal. I am not far from that now and we are beginning to rotate our preps as they get near the use-by date. I know you can go well over that date in most tinned food but we use and replace at the next shopping trip.

Well that depends on what you're doing. I think when you're constantly active it's actually closer to something like 4-5000 calories. May even increase that a little in cold weather depending on what you're doing. That's a lot of pot noodles.

I'll just post the NHS link as that's what I was going for. When I was on a fitness diet I was on around the recommended 1500 cals with the workout, I did tone up and loose 2 stone in 10 weeks but you know what stopped that mate. I actually was not hungry and was faster with a more sustained energy level on that diet. I no doubt that once down to my ideal weight for my height I would have had to increase my calorie intake to around the 2000 - 2500 to stop from becoming a twig lol Here is the link for NHS recommendations, www.nhs.uk/chq/pages/1126.aspx?categoryid=51Bri
