Is 2000 Calories a day a good benchmark?

The number gets thrown around a lot as the correct amount of calories for a man to consume.

It seems like quite a high number to me. If you ate natural foods you would need to eat quite a lot to reach this or eat lots of nut butter/fatty meats etc.

Started weighing and tracking my food intake recently, I eat a lot of natural foods and usually eat less than 2000- I've increased my cals since I started tracking them.


Looking at how other people eat, it seems very few are hitting 2000 calories and the ones that do are going way over it or eating plenty of processed junk.


Is it an arbitrary number ?
