Health Department Launches Calorie Education Campaign

To maintain a healthy weight, most adults need no more than 2,000 calories a day

     Read 'em before your eat 'em"Read ’em before you eat ’em," the Health
     Department advises in a new campaign to help New Yorkers make the most of the
     city’s calorie-posting rules. The new campaign is designed to help New Yorkers
     see how quickly fast-food calories add up, and that a typical adult needs only
     2,000 calories a day to maintain a steady weight.
