For a 60-year-old man (or an adult of any age) only guidelines can be suggested here because the calories required vary according to individual needs (such as activity level, body weight, state of health and BMI). In general, however, an average adult male requires around:

  • 2,500 per day per day.
  • If you need to lose weight, start by eating 500 less calories per day.

Bear in mind that average men need between 1,700 to 2,200 calories each day to provide enough energy. Moreover, less than 1,500 calories daily will put a serious strain on your nutritional requirements and your health. For fruit calorie and vegetable calorie charts, which you may print out if you wish to and use as a daily guides, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

The number of calories needed for a 60-year-old male can vary based on factors such as activity level, weight, height, and overall health. On average, a sedentary 60-year-old male may need around 2,000-2,400 calories per day, while an active male may require more. It's best to consult with a healthcare provider or a nutritionist to determine the specific calorie needs for individual circumstances.
