Live a Heart Healthy Lifestyle:
One of the key factors in living a heart healthy lifestyle is to burn at least as many calories as you take in. This starts by having a rough idea of how many calories you need to be eating and drinking on a daily basis to maintain your weight or reach your target weight goal. There is not a one-size-fits-all answer to this question. The number of calories a person needs can vary depending upon age, gender, and level of physical activity.
