According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), more than two-thirds of the adult population over the age of 20 is either overweight or obese. Both of these conditions can contribute to diabetes, coronary artery disease, stoke, high blood pressure, gallbladder and a host of other preventable diseases. If you'd like to lose weight and are interested in approximately how many calories you actually need instead of what you normally eat, it's easy to calculate them yourself.
