Calculating the amount of food that the average person eats is not as difficult as some may think. However, the several averages are taken into account. For starters, the average American is 36.6 years old. The average man is 5’9” and weighs 190 lbs. and the average woman is 5’4” and weighs 164 lbs. The average amount of food eaten is based on the behavior of both men and women. In a year, statistics from the Food and Drug Administration indicate that the average person eats 1,996.3 lbs. of food per year. That’s almost one ton a year.
