As a 6'1" male who goes to the gym regularly, I need 2,800 calories/day just to maintain my weight which is in the middle of the range for normal-weight BMI. (If I'm trying to build strength, I need a bit more.)
So enough with the snark, please.
2,500 cal/day is well-known as the average male guideline, while 2,000 cal/day is the average female guideline.
None of this changes my original point. Obviously nobody's healthily surviving on 1,200 calories/day.
If you care about training you will adjust, and eat what you need and not 2 slices of bread.
People generally don’t count calories, certainly not how many percentage per meal they need. There’s also breakfast, snacking, dinner, more snacks etc.
