How much calories should someone intake? Underweight.

I've had been diagnosed back at the age of 6, I'm now 22. 23 in less than a week.

Throughout my hole life I've had weight-loss issues, this has caused me to become a unhealthy weight.

I've damaged my villi so much I'm worried about how much calories I actually can absorb and how much I should be intaking.

As a male who is 168CM=5 feet and 6 inches, at under 50KG=110 Pounds.

I should be intaking around 1750 to 2000 calories, even when I seam to gave enough food I'm still unable to gain weight.

From the research I've done (I also asked ChatGPT) for what is an estimate on how much calories I should intake.

From what I came across it there was only information on females and how much they should intake.

It came to 1800-1900kcal daily, this study was also done Slovenia.

Again this is for females not males, I'd like to figure out the recommended amount of calories I should be intaking.

With the research I did with ChatGPT and other sources I came to the estimate of 2500-3000 calories.

Would this seam accurate for an estimate on the calorie intake I need?

Right now I'm waiting to see a dietitian/nutritionist, I'm not exactly sure how long I'll be waiting.

I'd really like to figure out the proper intake of calories I need.

Determining the appropriate daily calorie intake for an individual requires considering various factors beyond age, gender, height, and weight, such as activity level, metabolic rate, and overall health. However, as a rough estimate, the average daily calorie requirement for a sedentary 22-year-old male who is 168 cm tall and weighs less than 50 kg could be around 1800-2000 calories per day to maintain their current weight. This estimate may vary depending on factors like metabolism and activity level. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized dietary recommendations based on individual circumstances and health goals.

If you exercise regularly it would likely put you in the 2500-3000 calories range.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.

      Juice shots? Anti inflammatory

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I avoid turmeric now because I'm on low dose aspirin, but used to use this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYBN4DJ My recipes always vary according to what I have on hand, but my base is a frozen berry mix from Trader Joe's: https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/fruits-greens-smoothie-blend-075603 In the warmer months I include herbs from my garden like Italian parsley and basil. I add almond milk as well.
