I'm female, 5'0" age 26, 115 lbs and I burn around 2,100 calories/day in an average week. (At time of writing ha ha. My activity can vary a lot.) I only exercise when I get around to it and it's either short HIIT workouts (20-45 min), gentle jogging (3-5 miles), or intense hiking (5-12 miles with 500-3000 feet elevation gain). Most days I just go to work and burn healthy calories with walking around. I'm not sure how anyone could run 6 miles/20,000 steps and barely cross the 2,000 cal mark to be honest. I cross it at about 16,000 steps or 6 miles. Everyone's body is different though and some people just burn fewer calories. How healthy you feel is the important part and I would like to be more active for my own enjoyment. 🙂 And I want more muscles!!! Always need more muscle.
