Relation of balanced diet with age, gender and activity

During the growth period of the body, there is higher metabolic rate in the body cells and so body needs a balanced diet that contains more energy .Adults need less proteins per kilogram body weights , but a growing body or girl needs more proteins per kilogram weight .Similarly children need more calcium and iron for their bones and red blood cells respectively.Gender has an impact on the requirements of a balanced diet. Women have comparatively less metabolic rate than men of the same age and weight. so men need balanced diet that provides comparatively more energy.

Different people have different lifestyles and nature of work.A man with sedentary habits does not require as much energy as the man who is on his feet for most of the day.So above, this is an estimated energy requirements according to age ,gender and activity .
