Hi, Hey does anyone know how much calories a body uses to run itself a day. Im not talking about calories burned by activity. Im talking about how much is needed just for the body alone. Is it like 2000?

For males it is 2500 and for females 2000. Age and activity are an important factor as well of course. The more active you are the more you can consume of course.
