Answer:

1500 W to 2200 W

Step-by-step explanation:

Every person does work in his daily day to day life. A person needs energy in order to perform work. And the energy consumed by an individual while performing a daily work is directly responsible to the mount of oxygen consumed by the person.

The USDA is the federal agency which looks after the food and agriculture matters of the US government. It deals with and formulates different policies and laws for the country and it s people. It recommends about 2000 calories per day for women and for men it recommends about 2500 calorie per days of food intake.

Accordingly, the average power required by a human body for doing regular work is in the range of 1500 W to 2200 W.
