yea 2400-2700 is ideal for a healthy male but its really all dependent on physical activity. For example im taking in 4500 a day on a workout day and burning 6-700 during my workout, maintenence is 3200, so im eating a couple hundred over those cals to build muscle. someone who wants to lose weight needs to be in a caloric deficit, but not so low as to shut down or slow the metabolism that much.
