It\u2019s also one of the essential nutrients your body needs to function daily.

At the same time, low-calorie meals could also help you lose weight, tone up, and stay healthy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-calorie diets have proven to be effective for weight loss, even benefiting your general health if they help you achieve a healthy weight (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/36432557\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/18700873\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). Weight loss requires a calorie deficit, which means you need to eat fewer calories than you burn. A daily deficit of 500 calories is often recommended as a good place to start, which may mean a daily calorie intake goal of around 1,200-1,500 for women and 1,500-1,800 for men (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/calorie-deficit\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). However, most women should eat 1,800-2,400 and men 2,000-3,000 daily to sustain their weight or support a healthy lifestyle with exercise and a balanced diet (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/calories-chart\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">19<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).
