I found this…
Living a sedentary lifestyle, women burn about 1,200 to 2,000 calories per day, and men burn roughly 1,800 to 2,400 calories. A sedentary lifestyle includes only the light physical activity associated with typical day-to-day life, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.
So that would be why nutrition information is based on a 2,000 calorie diet. Because that’s how much you will burn just by living J. In order to lose weight effectively, efficiently, safely, and keep it off they say you should burn at least 500 more calories a day than you eat. Which means you will burn off the 2,000 you ate by living, so burn an extra 500 calories and badabing badaboom lose weight! Unless the only weight you have left to lose is in your brain and your bra, in which case the effort would be to maintain your current healthy lifestyle. So don’t think that if you eat 2,000 calories in a day that you have to work out long enough to burn 2,500 calories because God takes care of the first 2,000 for you every day by waking you up!
Go ahead and get moving people!
