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, @nanny marley! Unfortunately, after bein on a gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet for weeks or months, you can expect test results to be negative.

      How to keep water down?

      Sounds like your parents are in denial about your celiac disease. Do you have an official diagnosis? Have you been able to keep the anti nausea meds you mentioned down long enough to get into your system?

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      Hi everyone, I’m currently in the process of figuring out if celiac disease might be the cause of some persistent symptoms I’ve been dealing with, and I’d love to hear from others who’ve had similar experiences. I’m not diagnosed yet, but these are the symptoms I’ve been struggling with: Diarrhea Constipation (sometimes alternating between the...

      How to keep water down?

      I'm a minor under my parents roof, and they absolutely refuse to take me to the ER for anything celiac related, and I do not trust myself to drive at the moment. I'll try to convince them once more, though, thank you for replying

      Hi everyone, I’m currently in the process of figuring out if celiac disease might be the cause of some persistent symptoms I’ve been dealing with, and I’d love to hear from others who’ve had similar experiences. I’m not diagnosed yet, but these are the symptoms I’ve been struggling with: Diarrhea Constipation (sometimes alternating between the two) Elevated Liver Enzymes - (dont know why) Visual Snow syndrome (static vision) Sandy stools or really skinny - (sorry for the TMI) Muscle cramps and general soreness Tingling in my hands and feet Bloating that can feel really uncomfortable Tiredness and extreme fatigue SI joint pain and stiffness Herniated disk and degenerative disk disease + stenosis.  Ive been trying to figure out whats causing these symptoms for 8+ years and I believe its caused by Celiac. Ive had a blood test come back negative so my doctor immediatly writes it off now. Ive seen every type of specialist under the sun and no one can help me. Im currently on a gluten-free diet but have recently learned about reactive foods that can cause the same symptoms as well so im consistenly changing my diet to accomidate. Did anyone else have these symptoms before getting a diagnosis?  Thank-you!
