How Many Calories Does a 35-Year-Old 85 kg Man Need?

Using the Mifflin-St Jeor equation with your exact inputs — age 35, weight 85 kg (187 lbs), average man's height (175.3 cm) — the resting metabolic rate is 1776 kcal/day. With typical daily activity, total calorie expenditure (TDEE) ranges from 2131 kcal (sedentary) to 3063 kcal (very active).

Age 35 note: After 30, metabolic rate begins declining ~1–2% per decade, driven by gradual muscle loss. Resistance training 2–3×/week largely offsets this.
