Lybrate-user according to your age height and weight 2100kcal would be needed per day. Calories are necessary for providing energy for the body, if you do not do any physical activity then extra calories is stored in the body as fat. This excess fat is not healthy because it causes weight gain and fatigue, limits mobility, contributes to aches and pains in the body and it can make it harder to breathe and sleep.
