In an attempt to handle the increase of overweight and obesity in Britain, Public Health England (PHE) issued new health guidelines that force Britons to reduce their intake of calories to just 1,600 a day.The advice from PHE - a government agency for preventing ill health - carries 400 calories for breakfast, 600 for lunch and 600 for dinner and but this does not include drinks, according to the Daily Mail reported. Also, people who follow the new guidelines can take 200 calories in form of healthy snacks.

The new amount, which is below the current recommended daily intake of 2,000 calories for women and 2,500 for men, aims to help people living in Britain better manage their weight and health in the new year.The One You nutrition campaign - new calorie guidelines - will be rolled out by PHE in March 2018, and adults will be told to remember the "400-600-600" rule.

But, the guidelines are merely a "rule of thumb" rather than strict limits, the government agency announced.Masters, on the other hand, have criticised the move. The calorie guidelines are "not based on evidence and are essentially a lie designed to manipulate people into eating less", told Christopher Snowdon from the Institute of Economic Affairs think-tank.

“It’s been well established for decades that reasonably active people need between 2,000 and 2,500 calories a day to maintain their weight,” Christopher Snowdon added.The campaign also comes two years after the Government introduced new alcohol guidelines to reduce the health risks of excessive drinking.
