How many calories does the body naturally burn daily?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
This varies with the weight of the individual and their physical activity. A hundred pound sedentary person will burn less than a 200 lb person engaged in the same activity. A person sitting at a desk all day burns less than a weightlifter working out. Between 1500 & 4500 kcal/day is a common figure. With a weight and activity description more specific estimates could be made.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson. Additional factor is the inherent basal metabolic rate of the individual. If you are titrating your weight to caloric intake, reduce your intake by about 30% from what is sufficient to maintain your weight. http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol, or street drugs.
