How many calories should a 25-year-old man of 70kg eat per day?

What is the difference between BMR and TDEE?
BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is the calories your body needs at complete rest to maintain basic functions like breathing and circulation. TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) multiplies BMR by an activity factor. At sedentary, TDEE ≈ 1.2× BMR; at very active, TDEE ≈ 1.725× BMR. Your TDEE is 2595 kcal vs BMR of 1674 kcal.
