Height in centimeters
cm = (ft × 12 + in) × 2.54
(5 × 12 + 9) × 2.54 = 175.26 cm
Weight in kilograms
kg = lb × 0.45359237
165 × 0.45359237 = 74.84274105 kg
Calories at rest (BMR, Mifflin-St Jeor equation)
BMR = 10 × kg + 6.25 × cm − 5 × age + 5
10 × 74.84274105 + 6.25 × 175.26 − 5 × 30 + 5 = 1,698.8 kcal/day
Times your activity factor, rounded (TDEE)
TDEE = BMR × activity factor
1,698.8 × 1.375 = 2,336 kcal

How it works
Mifflin-St Jeor: BMR = 10 × kg + 6.25 × cm − 5 × age + 5 (men) or − 161 (women); daily calories = BMR × activity factor
