    Use this Harris-Benedict formula to find your BMR rate, and then multiply it a number from 1.2 to 2 according to your level of activity during day.

    Men: BMR = 66 + (13.7 X wt in kg) + (5 X ht in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)

    According to this website http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/

    you have a BMR of 1563.4.

    You multiply it by a number from 1.2 to 2.

    You ll need around 1700 per day or so.

    But those scientific formulas are not perfect, and you are too young so this formula may give wrong calculations.

    Just follow this advice, if you are overweight than cut your calorie intake until you can see that you become lean.
