Maybe I’ve missed something somewhere but have to admit to being a bit mystified by the news item highlighting a report which suggests that daily calorie counts may be underestimated (2,000 women 2,500 men).  Nooooooooo – that explains then why we’re all so thin ???

The draft report by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition says that the recommended daily intake could be upped by 16% and provides a much more accurate assessment of how energy can be burnt off through physical activity.
Now, to be fair, it is reported that the panel stresses that people should only eat more if they exercise more, given rising levels of obesity. You don’t say…………..

To be fair, there’s probably something in the way this is reported and the BBC article  didn’t provide a link to the actual report. 
If you’re really keen you can read the full report here.
