These numbers are from memory, and may be wrong, but you'll get the general idea...

A newborn baby requires 240 calories/kg body weight/day to maintain weight.

A 20 year old requires 120 cal/kg/day.

A 40 year old requires 60 cal/kg/day

A 60 year old requires 33 cal/kg/day

So... Every 20 years your dietary input should be reduced by half if you want to maintain weight.

Again, these numbers are imprecise, but give you the general idea.
