Will I gain weight if I eat 2000 calories a day?

Consuming 2,000 calories a day may lead to weight maintenance if it aligns with your energy needs. Some people may lose weight on 2,000 calories per day. However, for others, it could result in weight gain if it exceeds their energy expenditure. Similarly, people who are aiming to lose weight may need to consume fewer calories than 2,000 per day to create a calorie deficit. It depends on your daily energy requirements, which are influenced by a variety of individual factors. You should talk to a registered dietitian to determine if you should eat 2,000 calories a day, or more, or fewer.
