How many calories should a 38 year old male who is 5'8 and weighs 190 pounds eat a day?

Answer 1

The general calorie intake for an active male is around 2500 but that means that you do a hard work out at least 3 times a week. I would say 2000 or less for the average male office worker. For more info on this there are lots of free websites dedicated to proper weights based on your height and frame. They also have a lot of tips about eating healthy and staying fit.

Answer 2

Your caloric intake depends on your height, and you should consider your activity level also. Not your age. For a woman for 5 ft is 100# and 5# for every inch thereafter. For example I am 5'5" so I should weigh 125# +/- 10% based on my body frame. Your then take the 125# since I am a medium build and divide by 2.2 to get how many kg which would be 57kg. You then take the kg x 25-35 and come up w/ your answer. Remember every 3500kcal=1 lb.

Answer 3

That depends on whether he want to maintain weight, lose weight, or gain weight. It also depends on current weight and level of activity. For more information, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Answer 4

You should eat about 1,900 calories per day if you are not active. If you are moderately active you should eat about 2,100 and if you are very active about 2,300.

Answer 5

If you want to maintain a good diet, keep it under 1600 and you'll lose weight then level off.
