Calorie Needs Averaged for Man - Small Frame

Even larger guys have small body frames - and on the flip-side, even small men have large body frames. Our weight is more dependent upon our height and activity levels than our body's skeletal frame size.

Our Daily Calorie Needs Chart is a fantastic spot to start where weight loss planning is concerned. As we can see, the taller the individual, the more calories they require per day. And the more active the individual, the more calories they can consume per day.

Example: The Daily Calorie Needs for a man with a small frame who is 5'5" tall and leads a Moderate Lifestyle needs an average calorie intake of about 2,055. When the man is active he can consume about 300 more calories on this day. That's enough to enjoy a roasted chicken breast!

When setting your weight loss goals - or when working to maintain your current weight, I encourage you to keep in mind that your body is different from everyone else's in the world. You are unique. Even if your friend is your identical height and body frame size, you will require different caloric values in your daily life. Therefore, use all charts to help define your weight loss plan but never consider them as 'set in stone'.
