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.
According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010, the average sedentary woman needs 1,600 to 2,000 calories each day, while the average sedentary man requires 2,000 to 2,600 calories per day to maintain a healthy body weight.
