| May 23, 2011 at 16:26 | comment | added | Evan Plaice | @Meritt I agree with the obese remark (sounds right to me). I was just pointing out that if you're carrying more weight around any physical exertion will burn more energy compared to somebody who is at their 'normal' healthy weight. | |
| May 21, 2011 at 18:27 | comment | added | Merritt | @Evan: however, 200+ for someone that is 5"10 suggests obesity, unless they are built like a line backer. | |

| Mar 21, 2011 at 23:00 | comment | added | Evan Plaice | @Salsero69 Maybe for a woman of average height/weight. I think 2000 is used because it's marketable (easy to remember). In your case you're 5'10" which is taller than the average and 200lbs. Those 2 characteristics alone should bring your caloric expenditure up a bit. The activity accounts for the rest. It doesn't seem like an unreasonable number. | |

| Mar 21, 2011 at 21:50 | comment | added | Salsero69 | @Greg: Isn't the daily average caloric intake for a man 2000 calories. I'm not far off. I had brought it down to 1400 calories a day in order to lose 2 lbs a week. | |

| Mar 21, 2011 at 20:28 | comment | added | Yevgeniy Brikman | We need: height, weight, gender, age, activities, goals. | |
| Mar 21, 2011 at 20:18 | comment | added | G__ | Agree with @md5sum that we need some more info for specific recommendations, but one thing to consider (and I mean this objectively): are you SURE that you were counting calories correctly? It's very easy to underestimate what you actually eat. What you added up as 1800 calorie may very well have been much more... 1,800 calories to maintain would suggest that you are considerably smaller than the "average" man (I'm inferring your gender from your profile) - is this true? | |
| Mar 21, 2011 at 19:16 | comment | added | Nathan Wheeler | We can explain it to you better if you'll list your height, weight, age, and activities. It's possible you messed up on your math, or that your previous calculation was wrong. However, we'll need more information to help you specifically with this. | |
