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.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Dietary Guidelines for Americans published in 2010 established calorie ranges for the average sedentary person. The average man, weighing 154 pounds and standing 5 feet 10 inches tall, should eat between 2,000 and 2,600 calories per day when living a sedentary lifestyle. Older men should aim for the lower end of this range, while younger men may aim for the higher end.
