Let's get this straight first: limiting your calories isn't giving up, but making more sensible choices. Low-calorie doesn't have to be low on flavor or taste; you can always make them in your own style at home with delicious taste.

While a low-calorie meal should provide you with 800kcal - 1500 kcal per day. The actual amount of calories you need in a day depends on your age, gender, and level of physical activity. For a low-calorie meal, the right kind of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals are required.
