A report says that the basis for planning diet and regulation of healthy-eating during the last 18 years, the counting calories, may occur wrong.

A draft report of the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition tells that the daily norm of calories which is recommended to take might be sixteen percents more. Daily norm of calories intake currently are two thousands for women and two with a half thousands for men.

But we should pay attention that people have to eat more if they exercise more, given increasing levels of obesity.
The committee declare that its statement presents much more exact assessment about how energy is burnt off with the help of physical exercises.

A sixteen percents growth would mean that a grown-up could consume an additional 400 calories a day safely, equal to an standard sized cheeseburger.The offers, which were seen by The Grocer and The Times magazine, are due to be ready in a 14-week period of consultation.

Then the final recommendations will be proposed.
