Answers:
It depends on your weight/size/height because the bigger you are the more calories you burn just being alive.
There is a website www.fitday.com that lets you enter your weight and etc. and will keep track of everything you eat and how many calories you specifically burn.
For women I think it averages about 1800 per day, for men about 2200.
If I'm not mistaken, for an average person you burn 1200 just doing nothing through the day, and on a normal day you burn 2000. An athlete can burn 5000 a day.
Just to stay alive and lay around all day you would need to find your Basal Metabolic Rate. There are many BMR Calculators on the Internet.
