Around 2000: How many calories an individual needs is very variable. An average adult male needs around 2000 calories a day to maintain their weight. It depends on the level of activity and kinds of food. For the best answer, consult with your family physician, who can look you over and give you a better answer. You can then consult with a nutritionist or dietitian if you want more detailed information.
