How Much People Overeat
Most people gain 1 to 2lbs per year. That means that, on average, people overeat by only 10 to 20 calories per day. For those of you who like to weigh stuff, that is between 1.7 and 3.4 grams of peanut butter per day.

Men Eat Less, and Women Eat More

At what point does it give a higher number?
According to MFP, my calories burned from normal activity (basically, just sitting around all day) is 2,760. My weight loss goal is 2lbs per week, but instead of setting my calorie goal to 1,760, it sets it at 1,600 and predicts that I will lose 2.3 lbs per week. I've heard of people having a higher than 1,600 goal, but…
