THE MEGA-T® CALORIC INTAKE CHART*
How many calories do you need a day? When determining your daily caloric intake, you must consider the following: your age, body frame, height, weight, and activity level.
If your body requires additional calories, start by adding more lean protein distributed throughout the day - shoot for 1 gram of protein‡ per pound of body weight.
When you’ve maximized your daily lean protein intake, start adding fresh, green vegetables like string beans, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts and salad greens until your ideal caloric intake is reached.
* Consult with a physician before starting any diet or exercise program.
† We DO NOT recommend consuming less than 1200 calories per day.
‡ 1 ounce of meat, fish or poultry has approximately 6 grams of protein.
