No, well… just to let you know, because I’m sure some of you would never give up on meat (I like it too!), the list doesn’t include it, because it simply includes only things you really should include, we don’t say that you have to avoid other types of food. Remember, eating has to give you joy – important rule!

Vegetables and Fruits

to fight allergies and asthma

2000 Calories

for great condition

It’s an average amount of energy, we need each day. To calculate needed amount of calories for your respiratory system and your internal organs to work properly we can do some math:

Women in age between 20-34 years old:
You multiply your weight (in kilos) and number 21.6
for example: 54 kg woman:
54*21.6=1166 calories

Women above 34 years old:
You multiply your weight (in kilos) and number 19.2
for example: 54 kg woman:
54*19.2=1036 calories

In addition to that, you need to add calories that your muscles will burn, for example: when you walk, work, etc. Office work absorbs around 500 calories, an hour of exercise around 250 calories.

So, if you are a office working woman in your thirties and you exercise a bit, your body will need not more than 2000 calories a day.
