Calories burned in a day's time

  • Does anyone know what the calories burned are for an adult man and woman for an entire day if they just basically sat around and did nothing? I guess it depends on starting weight, doesn't it? I'm trying to crunch some numbers and the information would be helpful. Thanks.
  • Just play around with this, plug in different numbers to find what you're looking for:

  • It depends on your body fat percentage. I know that mine is 1000 calories a day.

    Very cool site. Thanks. I was amazed that maintenance for me is 2500 calories. I was astounded at the number, since I'm used to eating only 1600 calories for so long.

    That site is way off for me. If I ate according to what that site said at a sedetary level, I would gain. Use numbers as a benchmark and then you have to experiment to see what works.
