A 6-foot-tall, 28-year-old sedentary woman who weighs 200 pounds would calculate her BMR as follows: 655 + (4.35 x 200) + (4.7 x 72) - (4.7 x 28) = 1,731 BMR. 1,731 times 1.2 = 2,077 calories needed each day.
Sedentary women generally burn 1,600 to 2,000 calories per day, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (Page 14), and should consume the same number of calories for healthy weight maintenance.
