How to Lose Weight
Men:
66 + (6.3 x weight in pounds) + (12.9 x height in inches) – (6.8 x age in years)
Please note that this formula applies only to adults.
Calculate Activity
Step two: In order to incorporate activity into your daily caloric needs, do the following calculation:
If you are sedentary : BMR x 20 percent
If you are lightly active: BMR x 30 percent
If you are moderately active (You exercise most days a week.): BMR x 40 percent
If you are very active (You exercise intensely on a daily basis or for prolonged periods.): BMR x 50 percent
If you are extra active (You do hard labor or are in athletic training.): BMR x 60 percent
Add this number to your BMR. aka the calories that you need in a day to maintain weight. to lose weight you need to cut back calories. remember, every 500 is equal to a pound a week.

Perfect intake. Don’t ever go down the calorie need of 1,475. It’s unhealthy. But 1,500 is perfect for losing weight and as a diet.

Metabolism and Your Weight
as long as your eating enough food (you dont feel hungry often) and you have the right amount of energy this is fine. if you find that you have a lot or even too much energy than this could be too many calories, but if you feel tired and dont have much energy it could be not enough for you.

a healthy intake for men is 2550 calories, but it depends also if you are trying to lose weight or bulk up. if your trying to bulk up 1500 calories is not enough to support your energy demands

Sounds pretty good to me. Your going to want a second oppinion on that though. Im just trying to estimate from wrestling twice a week. But 1500 for a 5′10 guy sounds about right.
