Calories in the NutriSystem Diet

NutriSystem is a diet that works by restricting your caloric intake by offering low-calorie meals. In order to lose weight, you simply eat the meals provided without straying into eating fatty and sugary snacks on the side.

Caloric Intake

When on the NutriSystem diet, you can expect to consume about 1,500 calories each day if you're male, and 1,200 calories each day if you're female, according to the Diets in Review website. These numbers are based upon minimum daily caloric recommendations from the National Institutes of Health.

Food Choices

The NutriSystem plan has a wide variety of food choices available so you don't get bored while on your diet. Some foods include chocolate chip muffins, macaroni and cheese and chicken cacciatore.

Adding Foods

You can add foods to your NutriSystem meals, but it will alter your caloric intake for the day. Before you add any extra snacks, calculate their caloric content so you know exactly how many calories it will add to your daily allotment.
