The number of calories a 62-year-old average build woman should have every day can vary based on several factors including her level of physical activity, metabolic rate, height, weight, and overall health. However, general guidelines provided by the National Institute on Aging suggest that women over 50 who are:
1. Not physically active need about 1,600 calories a day.
2. Somewhat physically active can aim for about 1,800 calories a day.
3. Very active might need about 2,000 to 2,200 calories a day.
These are approximate values and individual needs can vary. It's often helpful for the woman to consult with a dietitian or a healthcare provider to get a personalized recommendation that takes into account her specific situation.
