Basal metabolic rate (Mifflin-St Jeor, men): 10 × 75 + 6.25 × 175 − 5 × 30 + 5 = 1,699 kcal.
Daily needs: 1,699 × 1.53 (activity) = 2,599 kcal.
Goal: 0.5 kg per week × 7,700 kcal ÷ 7 days = 550 kcal per day; 2,599 − 550 = 2,049 kcal.
An estimate for healthy adults: individual needs can differ by 10% or more, and weight loss slows as body weight falls. Not for pregnancy, breastfeeding, eating disorders or medical conditions – ask a doctor or dietitian. No substitute for medical advice.
