    Peanut butter, avocado, cheese, whole milk.

    You do know there is a user-friendly database on this site than tells you the calorie count of almost every food known to man, right? Why are you asking us?

    According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020–2025, a healthy eating plan:
    • Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products
    • Includes a variety of protein foods such as seafood, lean meats and poultry, eggs, legumes (beans and peas), soy products, nuts, and seeds.
    • Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars
    • Stays within your daily calorie needs

    How many calories does the body need to function?
    The concept of calories first made an appearance around 1820 when French physicist and chemist Nicolas Clement introduced the concept, and it comes from the Latin word calor, which literally translates into heat. The average woman needs roughly around 2000 calories every day, as part of a normal healthy diet. The average man needs slightly more – around 2700 calories. Of course, this number varies depending on a variety of factors including the amount of physical activity, health issues, age and so on says by Femina.
