The average Western man burns less than 2000 kcal/day, I would say optimistically 1500 kcal/day for the people around me, most of them don't exercise much.

The problem with your computation is that the body is not stupid, when you stop eating, it stops burning. I don't know the exact numbers, but it is absolutely not linear like that.
