Calorie Needs Averaged for Man - Medium Frame

Dieter George has a medium size body frame. He is looking to lose a few pounds. His height is 5'10" and he currently weighs 200 pounds. By looking at the chart below we can determine that his recommended weight ranges from 151 pounds to 163 pounds. Therefore, George needs to lose about 40 pounds. Let's see how our Daily Calorie Needs Chart can assist him in meeting his weight loss goals.

Rather than go on a extreme calorie-restricted diet, if George consumes the amount of calories recommended for an inactive lifestyle for a 5'10" man, he would naturally drop pounds. His daily calorie needs would be about 2,041. If he continued to consume this number of calories per day and increased his activity level, he would lose weight at an even faster rate.

By the time that George reached his weight loss goals and his recommended weight, he could then make adjustments in his activity schedule and his daily diet to reach his ideal weight. What is ideal weight? The weight at which George feels the best at.
