It appears that the Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) you provided (51,879 kcal/day) is an unusually high figure, likely due to a miscalculation or input error in height and weight. Given your provided weight of approximately 77.1 kg and if we assume a more typical height (perhaps 177.84 cm) which is around 5’10”, I will provide recommendations based on an estimated average TDEE for someone of your weight, height, age, and gender.
Estimated TDEE Calculation
Using standard equations (for example, the Mifflin-St Jeor equation), a more realistic TDEE estimate for someone aged 45, male, weighing around 77 kg (approximately 170 lbs) and average height (assuming about 177 cm or 5'10") with moderate activity would be around 2,500-2,800 kcal/day.
Goals Breakdown
Let's structure specific plans under the typical TDEE.
1. Weight Loss
-
Diet Plan:
- Caloric Intake: Aim for a deficit of 500-750 kcal/day; thus around 1,800-2,300 kcal/day.
- Macronutrient Distribution:
- Protein: 25% (around 112-144 g)
- Fats: 30% (around 60-75 g)
- Carbohydrates: 45% (around 200-275 g)
Sample Diet:
- Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs (210 kcal), 1 slice whole grain bread (80 kcal), 1 avocado (240 kcal).
- Snack: Greek yogurt (150 kcal).
- Lunch: Grilled chicken salad with mixed greens, olive oil, and vinegar (400 kcal).

-
Lifestyle Changes:
- Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours per night.
- Stress Management: Try mindfulness meditation or light yoga.
- Motivation Tips: Keep a journal for meals/exercise, set small realistic goals, and track progress.
2. Muscle Gain
-
Diet Plan:
- Caloric Intake: Aim for a surplus of 250-500 kcal/day; thus around 2,500-2,800 kcal/day.
- Macronutrient Distribution:
- Protein: 30% (around 188-210 g)
- Fats: 25% (around 70-85 g)
- Carbohydrates: 45% (around 280-320 g)
Sample Diet:
- Breakfast: Oatmeal with 2 scoops of protein powder and berries (500 kcal).
- Snack: Protein shake (150 kcal).
- Lunch: Turkey burger with sweet potato fries (800 kcal).
- Snack: Mixed nuts (200 kcal).
- Dinner: Lean beef stir-fry with brown rice (600 kcal).
-
Exercise Plan:
- Frequency: 4-5 days/week.
- Duration: 60-90 minutes/session.
- Types:
- Strength Training: Focus on compound lifts (squats, deadlifts, bench press) at least 4 times/week.
- Cardio: Limit to 1-2 sessions per week, moderate intensity (20-30 mins).
-
Lifestyle Changes:
- Sleep: Prioritize recovery with 7-9 hours per night.
- Stress Management: Engage in active recovery days (light cardio, yoga).
- Motivation Tips: Consider a workout partner or coach, track your lifting progression.
3. Maintenance of Weight
-
Diet Plan:
- Caloric Intake: Match caloric intake to TDEE of approximately 2,500-2,800 kcal/day.
- Macronutrient Distribution:
- Protein: 25% (around 156-175 g)
- Fats: 30% (around 83-93 g)
- Carbohydrates: 45% (around 280-320 g)
Sample Diet:
- Breakfast: 2 eggs, toast, and banana (400 kcal).
- Snack: Cottage cheese with fruit (200 kcal).
- Lunch: Tuna sandwich on whole grain (500 kcal).

-
Exercise Plan:
- Frequency: 4-5 days/week.
- Duration: 45-60 minutes/session.
- Types:
- Strength Training: 3-4 times per week (maintenance lifts).
- Cardio: 2-3 sessions per week for 30-45 mins.
-
Lifestyle Changes:
- Sleep: Maintain good sleep hygiene for recovery.

Conclusion
It's essential to adjust these recommendations based on ongoing results, preferences, and any specific medical conditions or dietary restrictions. Consulting with a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian before significantly changing your diet or exercise regimen would also be advisable.
