Just because the label says men should get 2000 cal a day does not mean that's what you personally need. I need around 1200-1400 and typically stay in that range without too much trouble. I've done it for so long it's just habit now.
Correct, depends on body type, age, activity, types of calories. 1,200 is about right for me for GOOD foods.

1,200 calories from french fries I will prob lose muscle mass and gain fat. Just saying.
