Energy is expressed in Kilocalories (Kcal) or Kilojoules (kj).
The amount of energy you need per day depends on your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) PLUS the amount of energy you use during physical activity and is often called your Total Daily Energy Expenditure or Requirement (TDEE).

The RDI’s for energy shown here are population-based average estimates ONLY and don’t reflect large individual differences due to extra exercise or intense physical work or no physical activity at all, i.e. bedridden.

Our free RMR and TDEE calculator enables you to calculate your TDEE much more accurately.

In recent years, nutritionists and the general public have come to regard foods as more than just sources of energy and essential nutrients. Certain minor components of foods are now recognised for their health-promoting properties. The antioxidant properties of many phytochemicals, in particular, have received considerable amount of attention, for their roles in alleviating the effects of some of the chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers.
