According to this article, the British government recommends that adults' daily calorie intake - currently 2,000 for women and 2,500 for men - could be increased by up to 16 per cent. That's the equivalent of a cheeseburger or two packets of crisps.
Warning! Only if you exercise. You would need to jog at a moderate pace for about an hour to burn the extra burger that you've consumed. It is reported that a third of the British population are overweight. Go figure.......
A person with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 and above is considered overweight. However, I would like to stress that for Asians, the cut-off index is at 23.
