average male daily calorie intake
The University of Washington suggests men with low activity levels consume about 13 calories for each pound of their body weight daily. This means a 165-pound inactive man needs about 2,145 calories a day, while an inactive 175-pound male requires about 2,275 calories daily to maintain his current body weight. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 suggests inactive men often need 2,000 to 2,600 calories a day for healthy weight maintenance.
