There is good news for people who love their food. The advice about daily calories given by scientists for the past two decades may be wrong. A new report from Britain suggests we could eat 16 per cent more without damaging our health. This is the same as eating one cheeseburger, or an extra 400 calories, every day. For 18 years, dieticians have advised us that men should limit their daily calorie intake to 2,500 and women to 2,000. The report from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) means many healthy eating plans and diets given to overweight people could be changed. The revised healthy calorie count is because researchers found a more accurate way of assessing how the body burns fat.

 

The committee did offer a warning in its report. It said people should only eat more if they exercise more, otherwise they will put on weight. Other experts disagreed with the SACN’s findings. They fear people might see the report as a “licence” or “green light” to eat more. Britain’s Food Standards Agency made it very clear that people should eat less. It said most Britons needed to maintain a healthy bodyweight by reducing calories and exercising more. Doctors predict a third of British adults will be obese by 2012. They worry the new report could increase the rate of obesity. Tam Fry, a British health expert, reminded the public that most male adults have double or treble the recommended calorie intake.
