how many calories does the average person burn a day??

[MuffDyver]

say somebody is about 5' 10" - 6 feet tall, around 165-175lbs with a fast metabolism who is not athletic at all....just lifts weights...how many calories a day do you think a person like that burns per day??

a person with a fast metabolism isn't average

Go to fitday.com and sign up for a free online journal. They have a calorie counter that is pretty accurate. You can add in all your activities and your lifestyle and see what you're burning approx.

Yes it does. There is a part called activities. It will tell you how many calories you burn based on your bodyweight. There is also a thing to describe lifestyle which is included.

Depending on your workout routine I'd guess at 2000-2500 cals a day

Maybe for a 65 year old male.

find your maintenance calorie intake and adjust from there. Might take a couple weeks but it'l be accurate for you, something a website cant tell you.
