theres no average. it all depends on your matabalism, body fat percentage, and your lean body mass. naturally the more muscles you carry the more calories you burn, even at rest. eatting habits and exercise routine also factor in. hope that helps

ugh, well then how does a dood figure out how many calories to eat to lose fat?

like, is eating 500 cals a day less than you burn too extreme?

500 less than you burn a day is just right

figure out your basial metabolism (calories it takes for your body to function) then times it by the activity level. thats the amount calories you need to maintain your weight. add a little more if you wanna gain weight.

your metabolism is the fastest in the morning correct?
