Fair - I took a number for an active, awake human. You don’t produce that wattage all the time; resting and sleeping have much lower heat output; average power over a day is probably more like 100W (hence that being a reasonable average ‘healthy calorie intake’ number which I assume is where your 2000kCal comes from.)
