How much calories should someone intake? Underweight.

[DJblaze]

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.
