Why balanced diet depends on gender?

Solution
 
The balanced diet composition in humans depends on the gender.
This is because, males usually have a more muscular body and are usually taller ,thus they need more calories.
Muscle burns more calories than fat, so people with more muscle require more calories. Since women tend to smaller in height and also carry less muscle mass than men, their calorie needs are generally lower. Similarly, due to menstrual cycle and pregnancy in females , they need to have adequate intake of iron rich foods so that they don't suffer from anemia. 
thus balanced diet composition varies due to gender.
