calories per day calorie requirements. Your
age, sex, and activity level determine how many calories you need
each day, and your calorie needs determine how many fruits and
vegetables you should eat.

need more fruits and vegetables than women. However, they are less
likely than women to eat the recommended amounts.
Compared to people who eat only small amounts of fruits and
vegetables, those who eat more generous amounts—as part of a
healthy diet—are likely to have reduced risk of chronic diseases.
These diseases include stroke, type 2 diabetes, some types of
cancer, and perhaps heart disease. Fortunately, you can get
many benefits
by fueling up on fruits and vegetables.
