There’s a scientific-consensus answer to how many calories people typically need, the Harris-Benedict formula.
Out of interest, I checked wikipedia, which gives three different equations (Harris-Benedict, Mifflin St Jeor, and Katch-McArdle), saying “Historically, the most notable formula was the Harris–Benedict equation”.
I just put in my details on them, and my daily caloric burn varied over 1000 calories (one was 500 less than the other which was 500 less than the other). One of them was pretty close to 2000. /shrug
Thx for the comment.
