What is the typical daily energy requirement for different age group and conditions and factor affecting it?

Keeping track of your energy intake is important to know whether or you are supplying body with its vital requirements or not. Imbalance between the intakes and expenditure over a long period time has shown to have adverse effect on health and changes in body weight and composition. 
Factors that affect our energy intake and expenditure ratio are: REE (Resting energy expenditure), physical activity and exercise (durable and intensity), metabolism rate, age group, sex, growth and body size as well as the climatic conditions.  
The table below displays as average recommended energy allowances of different individuals. It shows recommended energy allowance to average of physical activity and body size of different sex according to age group.
