Does the average adult burn 2000 calories daily without exercise?

    female maybe, that would be a good (if extremely rough) guess. the average male I would think burns probably between 2500 and 2900 a day.

    There is no average, this would be affected by weight, age, sex etc, that is basically the BMR the site caculates is how many calories you burn without doing anything

    under "tools" at the top of the page there is a BMR calculator-- you add your age, weight and height (and gender i think) and it calculates a rough estimate!
