    That's a good amount for you, given that you are tall and active.
    I'm short (5'0) and sedentary, so for me, 2000 would be a lot. For someone like me, 1450/day is fine, but for someone like you, 1450/day would be unnecessary, much less 1200.

    It really all just depends on the individual in question!

    I am a 47-year-old female. I hover between 42-43 kgs and am 4'11. I eat between 2100-2200 to maintain but I do average around 20,000 steps a day. I would lose really slowly on 2000 calories a day.

    I eat almost 1800 calories, and I am down 15.6 in 25 days. However, I am doing Keto (LCHF) along with cardio, body weight exercises, and lifting weights (Bowflex). I also have a Fitbit and use that with MyFitnessPal. Some days my calories consumption is less because I do intermittent fasting (IF). All that said, I am 5' 7", and I still have 113 lbs to lose.

    I am just under 5'3" and was eating 2500 calories for maintenance before my cut. I lifted heavy regularly though. Put your calories to good use and you can eat more

    I am 5'7 135 and I eat about 2400 calories and am maintaining. I get around 12,000 steps outside of my workouts. I usually workout 4 days a week for an hour and do an active walk on the other day. Previously I was eating around 2,000-2,200 and was always exhausted and I just couldnt keep up with my lifestyle. 2,400 seems to be my magic number :)

    Is that net? so you guys are eating the calories you burn in addition to the 2000-- or is that total?

    Gross in my case. I maintain on 2000 on days I'm very inactive.

    2000 is roughly my maintenance. Unfortunately nowadays I just look at food and put on weight. Sucks getting older. I love food.

    This is not eating exercise calories, this is total.

    I'm at about 1800 calories a day. To maintain is about 2300. I'm fairly active though. I spend a lot of my job on my feet, I lift 4-6 times per week, and I run 2-3 times per week.

    It seems likely to me there would be many women eating 2000 calories, especially in maitenance, but even in weight loss
    and especially if we are talking gross calories, not net.

    I maintain on net of 1710 - but I am older, shortish and only lightly active.

    Many women would be taller, younger, more active than me - and wouldnt take much combination of those 3 factors to give one another 300 calories.
    And that's net before any excercise calories.
