2100 calories per day |
The accepted average calorie requirement in India is 2400 calories per person per day in rural areas and 2100 calories per person per day in urban areas. Since people living in rural areas engage themselves in more physical work, calorie requirements in rural areas are considered to be higher than in urban areas. In the above question, Shikha lives in Jaipur (urban area), thus the calorie intake for her should be 2100 calories per day. |
