Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -For example, a 40-year-old, 180-pound (81.6-kg), 6-foot (183-cm) tall man has a BMR of 1, 767. This means that, at rest, he’ll burn approximately 1, 769 calories in a day (Equation: (9.99 × 81.6 kg) + (6.25 × 183) – (4.92 × 40) + 5 = 1, 767).
Detailed explanation-2: -A 1, 200-calorie diet is much too low for most people and can result in negative side effects like dizziness, extreme hunger, nausea, micronutrient deficiencies, fatigue, headaches, and gallstones ( 23 ). Furthermore, a 1, 200-calorie diet can set you up for failure if long-term weight loss is your goal.
