How much we take calories

Average intake of energy of human being aged between 19-25 years varies from 1800-2500 calories daily. What will happen if calories intake lowered from this level. I don’t need to define popular term “Obesity”. But I would like to clear it to you; Obesity is simply a disease because of extra fat in your body.
From repot it is found that every obese person’s intake is 4 times greater than normal person intake of calories. It means that an obese person will take around 1800-2500* 4= 7200 – 10000 of calories. Is anybody aware how much calories is there in one egg: - I will tell you, one egg contains approx 80 calories of energy i.e. a single obese person can take 90 to 125 eggs daily. So, how much you are going to invest in 125 eggs daily? It will be 5- 10 £ daily in a day.
Now I will show you some more interesting statistics. In 2005/06 the average weekly spending on food and drink (not including alcohol) brought home, in the UK, was £20.91 per candidate, while spending on food and drink (not including alcohol) eaten out was £7.79. Between 1995 and 2005/06, overall spending on food and non-alcoholic drink had climbed by 8.6% in real terms mainly due to increased spending on eating out, which increased by 43% in real terms.
This report shows the increase in expenditure of food.
In my next post I will discuss about how much we eat and the percentage of food items participating to boost our energy.
