Who a 2500 calorie meal plan suits
2500 kcal suits people whose estimated daily need is high: taller or heavier adults, people with a very active day, or people who train hard. Not sure that is you? The calorie calculator gives you a starting figure.
The number that fits you depends on your height, weight, age and activity. This is general information for healthy adults, not medical advice. If you have a medical condition, ask your clinician before changing how you eat.
Three example adults and their estimated daily need from the Mifflin-St Jeor equation at light activity. They are examples, not advice.

|---|---|
| Woman, 35, 165 cm, 65 kg | 1850 |
| Man, 30, 178 cm, 80 kg | 2430 |
| Woman, 50, 160 cm, 72 kg | 1800 |
Your own number may differ. Work out your own estimate with the calorie calculator.

Cada número de esta página (objetivos de calorías, reparto de macros y cualquier plan de comidas sugerido) se obtiene con fórmulas (Mifflin-St Jeor para la tasa metabólica basal, multiplicadores de actividad estándar) o, en los planes de comidas generados por IA, con un modelo de lenguaje que aplica esas mismas fórmulas. En las páginas de planes de comidas, la cifra de carbohidratos de cada comida se calcula por diferencia: calorías totales menos las calorías de proteínas y grasas, dividido entre 4. No se mide ni se estima por separado, así que léela como un balance aritmético y no como un análisis nutricional independiente del plato. Nada de esto es asesoramiento médico o nutricional individualizado, y nada ha sido revisado por un dietista titulado, un médico u otro profesional sanitario con licencia.
Pregunta a tu médico o a un dietista titulado qué es lo adecuado para ti antes de empezar una dieta nueva, sobre todo si estás embarazada o en periodo de lactancia, tienes una enfermedad diagnosticada, tomas medicación con receta o has tenido trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Si tienes una enfermedad renal u otra afección médica, consulta con tu profesional sanitario antes de aumentar la proteína.
Mealyno nunca recomienda un objetivo de calorías por debajo de tu tasa metabólica basal (BMR) calculada, la energía mínima que necesita tu cuerpo en reposo completo. Incluso el ajuste de pérdida de peso más agresivo se limita a ese mínimo.
Las estimaciones de calorías y de BMR usan la ecuación de Mifflin-St Jeor (Mifflin MD, St Jeor ST, et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 1990).
