Knowing the right calorie intake for your body can greatly increase your health. If your calorie consumption is too low or too high you are at risk for diabetes, cancer and heart disease. As of September 2021, there are 16 states battling a 35% or higher obesity rate. I created a graphic, “Know Your Limit,” to break down the significant factors. Your weight, sex, age and physical activity determine the amount of energy your body needs each day. By encouraging others to further understand what they are eating and how their bodies are burning, this work can promote a healthier lifestyle.
