How many calories does a person need in a day?
1500-4000 calories vary.

People who do different types of labor need different calories a day. For example, if a person does pure manual labor for eight hours a day, he will certainly consume more energy than those who do mental labor for eight hours a day, so he will need more energy. Of course, mental work also needs to consume calories, but compared with manual work, it is easier to consume calories. Because everyone's work and rest habits and eating habits are different, the daily calorie intake is still obviously different from this, and the intake needs to be determined according to the individual.
