According to the US Department of Health and guidelines from the USDA, the average daily caloric intake for adult males typically ranges from about 2,200 to 3,000 calories, depending on factors such as age, activity level, and overall health.

Given the options:

  • Colton, who eats 1200 calories a day (below the recommended range)
  • Victor, who eats 1900 calories a day (below the recommended range)
  • Jose, who eats 2600 calories a day (within the recommended range)
  • Justin, who eats 3200 calories a day (slightly above the recommended range)

The adult male who falls within the required caloric range is Jose, who eats 2600 calories a day.
