How Many Calories Does the Average Woman Burn Each Day?
Women tend to burn fewer calories each day because of their smaller size and different body characteristics. An average adult woman, weighing 130 lbs, burns about 1600 calories each day while sedentary. If that same woman adds moderate activity to her daily routine, however, her calories-per-day rises to just over 2000. As is true with men, heavier females will burn more calories each day that lighter ones. An average 160 lb adult woman, for example, burns about 1750 calories each day without exercise. With moderate exercise added, however, she’d burn around 2300 calories.
