How many discretionary calories are you allowed per day?

In: Calorie Count [Edit categories]

Answer:

you are allowed as many as necessary after your daily limit is reached for nutrient rich foods. if you are on a 2,000 calorie diet, and you eat 1,750 calories of allotted calories making sure you have covered all needed calories and protein, you have 259 discretionary calories left. discretionary calories, also known as "fun foods" include cookies and sweets that have little nutrient value.
