Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
It's 2000kcals and not just 2000 calories.
It's a problem that everybody forgets the suffix and mentions it as just calories when it has to be kilocalories.
Therefore you take it as 152kcals.
Ideally a healthy man requires about 2500kcals a day.
To reduce weight you should take less calories than daily requirement and burn more than what you have taken in to reduce weight.
Best regards.
Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
