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.

      Daughter's high test results.

      By trents · Posted

      Were any other celiac antibody tests run besides the DGP-IGA? Was a total IGA test run to check for IGA deficiency? There are multiple IGA tests that can be run as well as several IGG tests when checking for celiac disease. The DGP-IGA test is helpful when diagnosing children whose immune systems are immature.

      I think we all wish that managing celiac disease was a simple as just avoiding gluten. And I think we all enter into the journey with that naive misconception. And for some, it is that simple. But for many, it is not. The same processes that resulted in the immune system misidentifying gluten as a threat opens the door for misidentifying other food proteins as threats. At it's core, all this simply is the result of an immune system that has become dysfunctional in some ways and is hypervigilant.  I assume you already know that genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease since 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease while only about 1% develop active celiac disease. However, genetic testing can be used as a rule out and thus to distinguish between celiac disease and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      It doesn't look like either avenin or casein would contribute to her IgA levels being high. From my understanding, that is only an indication of gliadin, which is only in gluten.  I should have noted that she does not have any symptoms of being constantly exposed to gluten as the test result shows. No intestinal discomfort, no brain fog, no lack of energy. She is still growing and gaining weight, which was the first indicator that she was not absorbing nutrients properly and led to her celiac diagnosis.

      That is very disheartening... She's due for the celiac genetic test, and the gliadin test again in 3 months.  Oats are easier to avoid, the milk is going to be an issue.  Thank you! We'll see how this goes.

      Anyone Here Sensitive To Fillers Such As Cellulose?

      By ShariW · Posted

      No problems (that I know of) to cellulose, but I have found that I have a "glutened" response to products containing inulin. Another thing to check for on labels!
