Around 30000

I'm on maintenance at 5'7", 135-140 pds. On a normal day, I'm just sedentary, so about 1600-1700. If I go for a very long run in the hills it might be more like 2700 or even more. If I'm just doing a little goofing off at the gym, weight training or whatever, it's more like 2000-2100.0

No idea, I don't track them2

About 1800, workout days can be anything from an extra 200 cals to an extra 1100, depending what I'm doing.0

Burn in total; not eat after deficit
Around 3K on average based on > 18K steps a day0 -

Just over 3K on average based on > 18K steps a day
Oopsies! MFP has me at 2750 for very active. I usually go above that once I hit about 15500 steps which I tend to do more often than not. Of course these totals are a little bit of a fib and I actually have to subtract about 5.5% to get to the real figure!

Sorry, you genuinely surprised me as I know you're taller/bigger so I "assumed" a higher burn. Admittedly it took a good year or more of ramping up before I was reliably hitting 15K0 -
I think my Garmin HR sucks at counting my steps sometimes it tells me to move when I am moving, I guess I'm just not moving "correctly".2

Sometimes my Fitbit counts more steps when moving slower than when moving faster Or no steps at all if moving softly. Experiment with pronounced vs not pronounced arm movement to accompany the steps! 0 -
I'm not super worried about the steps, it definitely sucks at stairs, never gets those right.1

I think you're confusing me with someone else.
I'm 5ft5 and 134lbs, I get 6000 steps before exercise...0 -
I walk a sad amount of steps like 6K average, somehow but manage a 3700-4000 burn on a non workout day. I think because when I am walking I'm usually dragging heavy crap around or climbing up on stuff.1

Yay parfait! I don't worry so much now that I'm actually doing something to make myself healthier it's way less stressful. Honestly I just had a bad relationship with food and since I broke up with beef it has been a lot easier to not drive thru on my way home while eating my feelings

I burn about 1800-1900 on a completely sedentary day, 2000-2100 on a normal relatively sedentary day, and 2200-3000 on a deliberate activity day depending on the activity.
I am obese, however, so I burn a lot just existing. Might want to take that into consideration if you're comparing.1 -
Between 2400 - 3000 depending on what I'm doing. Average day is around 2600 0
-
A sedentary day - c. 2000 cals
(I don't have many completely sedentary days.)
A normal day - c. 2500
(It's that mythical average for a mythical average male! I'm 5'9", 174lbs, 57YO)
My workouts vary enormously from 250'ish for an hour of strength training to several thousand when cycling, highest recorded day 6500.1 -

Ya me too, I don't know where the obese/overweight line is but I think a good bit of my burn is for breathing, moving my blood around important stuff like that.
