What are the average calories burned per day by men and women?

Has anyone ever told you that the average woman burns 2,000 calories a day? Or that a man burns 2,500 calories a day?

These numbers are both wrong, and simplistic. And if you plan your fitness or weight loss goals around them it can cause you a lot of heartache.

The average calories burned per day by a real American woman is actually closer to 2,350, while for a man it’s about 3,050. But you probably aren’t average, and your needs will change over time.
